Information will be given concerning the trip and payments needed, and Important decisions about the trip will be taken. We need at least one parent for each Choir student to attend this meeting.

 

SCHOLASTIC BOOKS! - This month your child(ren) will have the opportunity to purchase books through the International Scholastic Book Clubs.  This is an optional activity offered by the school, in case you want to motivate your child to read at home and to increase their own library.  With your purchase, our library will accumulate points to redeem for more books for the benefit of your children in our school. Order forms and catalogues were sent home on Friday. The final date to purchase the books online is February 10. The books will arrive at the school in one single delivery, and we will distribute them to the students according to their orders, approximately three weeks after the purchase due date. Please email Ms. Marilis (mzambrana@discoveryschool.edu.hn ) if you have any questions.

For Grades 4 and up:

NEW LATE WORK POLICY – To provide our students with consistency between the different grade levels, from Grade 4-12, the school has adopted a new policy for late work that goes into effect on January 7, 2014, as follows:

LATE WORK POLICY FOR GRADES 4-12

Beginning in January 2014, the following will be in effect for all students in Grades 4-12:

For Grades 6-12) To be regarded on time, work must be submitted to the teacher before 8:00 a.m. on the day that it is due.  This has proven to be effective in preventing students from copying homework from another student during the day.

For All Classes in Grades 4-12:

Due Date: 100% of grade (work must be complete and correctly done)

1 Day Late:  70% of grade

2 Days Late: 0 credit

Long-term Assignments (made at least 2 weeks in advance) are due the day of your return from an excused absence

Free Pass:  The teacher may give each student one late pass per quarter, at the teacher's discretion. This would allow for the work to be turned in 1 day late (complete and correctly done) for full credit. If the assignment is 2 days late, it would receive 70% credit. If it is 3 days late, there would be no credit.

Mandatory Completion of Work:  In order to ensure that the student does not miss essential knowledge and skills, the teacher may require that the student complete an assignment even if s/he will receive no credit. 

Excused Absence:  One day to submit make-up work is allowed for each day that was missed. If turned in after that period of time, the above guidelines apply.

If you have any questions, please discuss these with the Area Administrators or with your student’s teachers.
