
If you are absent, I will put your work aside for you in the absent work folders, but it is your responsibility to
ask for your work.
If you missed a scheduled test or quiz during your absence be prepared to take it during class the day you
return.
You need to make up any missing work before we finish the unit or the missing work will become a permanent
zero.

What if I need extra help?
I am available almost every day from 2 to 3 in my classroom. If you cannot come in after school, talk to me
about other optional times to get help. Email me any questions at bgomez@nthurston.k12.wa.us.
I am open to the option of you re-taking some assignments before the unit ends. Just ask me & we can discuss.
Dear Parent or Guardian:
I am pleased to have your student in my English 1-2 class this year. It is the North Thurston School
District’s policy to provide you with a list of books that may be used in the class. We may read some or all of
the books on the following list. The English teachers at NTHS fully endorse the following list, but we recognize
that you may have concerns with specific texts. If there are any books on this list that you would prefer your
student not read, or if there is a book on the list that you would like to read before making this decision, please
indicate that. Your student will be offered an alternate reading assignment if necessary. If you would like to
discuss any of these books with me, or to discuss any other matters, I encourage you to email me at
bgomez@nthurston.k12.wa.us or call the main office to be connected to my classroom phone.
