Grade 9 is a busy year, and students need to keep an agenda or use the calendar/notes section of their smartphone in order to keep track of homework and upcoming deadlines. Homework assignments are posted on the whiteboard of the homeroom. If students are absent, they need to contact a trustworthy classmate or e-mail Ms. W to find out what they have missed. A sibling could also come to the classroom to look at the homework whiteboard for their grade 9 sibling.
Assignments are updated a minimum of twice per month on PowerSchool, as per SSD policy.
