Attendances and Makeup Work
Make-up work is allowed if and when a students’ absence is an excused absent, student is
absent because of a UIL, extracurricular, and/or school activity.
Make up policy is to give the student the same amount of time to make up work as the time
that they were absent (ex. 3 days absent = 3 days to make up work). If a student is absent
(unexcused) the missing grades will remain zeros until a correction is made at the attendance
office by the parent.

Parents,
Welcome to the new 2012-2013 school year. I am so excited to be able to work with your child. This course is
designed to facilitate listening, speaking, reading comprehension, reading and writing. There is a rearrangement of
previously learned materials at a more advanced and independent level.
I expect that each student will take responsibility for his/her own success and that they will come prepared every
day and ready to learn. Working together with you and your child, we will have a successful school year.
If at any time during the semester you have any questions regarding your child’s progress, do not hesitate to call.
My conference is during 7th period, from 1:29-2:17. Your child should also be familiar with the syllabus as there is some
important information for them.
