Before and After School Help Hours

As the year moves along, all students will struggle with mathematics. It is extremely important that students take advantage of opportunities to receive extra instruction and help with daily assignments. Daily HW is designed to reinforce topics and should be at a level the student can complete on his or her own in 30 minutes or less per night. If HW assignments are taking much longer, or are simply too difficult, this should be a sign to students and guardians that extra help is needed. It is always best if students recognize this and seek help BEFORE a test or quiz.

Students who earn a D or F on a test or quiz may reattempt any assessment at any time during the same grading period and receive full credit for their work. Before reattempting an assessment students must spend a minimum of one extra work session with me before or after school.

My hours for additional help:

7:30-8:15 AM Mon.-Fri.
3:10-4:00 PM Mon.-Fri.

Additional resources:
Ruby Hughes HW Club 3:00-4:30 PM Mon.-Thur.
Breakfast and Books 7:15-8:15 AM Mon.-Fri.

Please note that lunch time is not an available period for extra help as the time is too short for students to eat and concentrate on work.

Last Day of MAP Testing

No HW for students today. Expect all students to have HW on Thursday.
