Dear Parents of 11C Students:
As the new school year gets underway it is timely to send you the guidelines and procedures that will be followed this year at Maxwell Park School with respect to homework and unplanned absences.
If your child does not complete his/her school work in class, I may require that it be completed at home. In such cases I will send you a special "Classwork at Home" form that will explain what work was not completed in class, and why. Repeated failure to complete homework may result in the issuance of an Academic Notice. If I send such a notice to you, it will request that you telephone me as soon as possible so that we can set up a meeting involving you- the parents, me- the teacher, and the vice-principal.
Students who are absent due to illness have three days for each full day missed to make up school work that was missed after he/she returns to school. Class work and homework missed due to planned or voluntary absence must be completed and handed-in on the day of return to school.
Students who appear to become ill during the school day will be sent to the office and a determination will be made by the school nurse whether a child should be sent home.
If deemed necessary to send the child home, parents will be telephoned at home or at work to make arrangements for pick-up.
I would ask you to please review and take note of the above guidelines and procedures so that we may work together in providing the best possible educational experience for your child this year.
If you have any questions or comments please feel free to call the office at 615-245-7645 and leave a message for me and I will contact you as soon as possible to discuss your concerns.
Yours truly,
Antonio Vargas
