We are all out of tissues! Please send in a box or two with your student! Thanks!
I believe in second chances. Any student who scores below 70% on any assignment can fix it or redo it and turn it back in for a better grade. Students can earn up to 75% on the second chance. This includes quizzes and tests. Students will need to see me for a retake for any quiz or test. I am available at 8 a.m. every morning.
Please check my Wish List page to see if there is anything you can help with. Thank you so much for your support!
