Dear Parents and Students, 

Please continue to check Aspire Gradebook weekly, and as regularly as possible with your child, to teach them to be responsible and to take ownership of their learning. Students who have zero or missing assignments should make up their assignment promptly, and before/during Friday's make up day. Students will have class assignments for the rest of the year, no homework assignments will be sent home. However, if students don't finish their classwork, they can take assignments home to complete as homework.
