Some students and parents have written me, concerned about the fact that they have assignments marked “Missing” and that their 4th-quarter grades seem very low. 

     PLEASE, DO NOT PANIC OR STRESS OUT!!!

     The reason I have marked them Missing is so that both students and parents are alerted to the fact that there are assignments out there to be done (I literally had no assignments turned in until I marked things missing in Progressbook!)

     Please note that NOTHING is marked “Late” and no one is being punished. I am not taking points off for being late, and as soon as I receive something, I go into Progressbook and take out the missing. I have due dates mostly so students keep the work flowing and do not get backed up.

     I also know that some people have different issues/capabilities in ways to turn things in. Here are your options:

     The school is no longer open any time on any days, due to the state orders. Ugh.

So turn-in options now are to either:

1.   Scan them with a printer or phone and send them to me by email (preferably as a PDF)
2.   Take a photo of them with your phone and send them to me by email
3.   Send them to me by snail mail!
4.   No printer? A. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper and then take a photo and send them to me. or B.Work on them online and send them as attachments (if it was something posted online)

5.   Any other method that you can think of not listed here
6.   If none of these work (and you cannot think of any other method!), then you can send me an email saying so and then hang on to them until we (hopefully) return to school! The key thing is to communicate.
7.   If No. 6 turns out to be the case and we never do return to school, I will likely make a giant roadtrip to pick up assignments at some point!

I hope this helps. Again, please do not stress out.

Stay safe ... and stay home!
