Reminder about Admit Slips & Attendance Policy:
If a student is absent in any class and returns without an Admit Slip, please send them directly to the MS office to retrieve one. The slips are to ensure that students communicate with their teachers about absence and make up work. As practiced, if a student is considered excused they will have the ability to do their makeup work. If considered otherwise, students will not have the opportunity to make up their work. After initialing an Admit slip and communicating with student about homework (signifying the teacher has acknowledged their absence and provided assignments), please help to remind the student to return the signed slip to the Office.
Picture Retakes: those of you that were absent or want to retake your school pictures, retakes will be on Thursday, Oct. 2. Please see Mrs. Ah Chong for a new packet.
