Projects will be assigned quite frequently - in all subject areas
- all year long. Students will generally have two to five weeks
to complete each project, please help your student manage
the time so it does not all pile up on him/her at the last
minute.
Your student will have at least 30 minutes of
homework/reading on a DAILY basis. If he/she does not
have an assignment/project to be working on, encourage and
help them study information in their notes.
Please e-mail teachers directly. The classroom teacher deals
with your child daily and has the most information to help
you and your student.
Late work will be accepted with a penalty up until the end of
each quarter: 50% penalty for 6th and 7th grade, and 75%
penalty for 8th grade. Please be aware of each individual
teacher’s syllabus and refer to it regularly.

Cambridge students will be supplemented with Cambridge
standards in addition to the state standards in order to be
prepared for the Cambridge exams. You may look at what
