Make Up Work This is the student’s responsibility. If you are absent from class you need to check with the instructor to make up missed assignment. All assignments must be handed in before the last two days of the term.
Materials Needed Students will be required to have a notebook or binder to keep all tech notes, handouts, assignments, and tests given during the term. Your notebook or binder and a pencil will be required each day in class.
Costs Every student needs to pay a $10.00 lab fee. This should have been accessed during registration. If you did not pay the fee, I will let your student know in a few weeks. Students will also be charged extra for wasting material or breaking equipment related to misuse or abuse. Normal wear and tear are not considered misuse or abuse.
Parents It is a great pleasure to be working with your children here at Star Valley Middle School this year. I am looking forward to having a great year. Please sign and send back with your student tomorrow. Signing only indicates that you have read this document.
