This is a gentle reminder again, as time goes on this year please remind your students to turn in and put effort into their homework. So far I have been lenient on their work, but please remind them to fill in their planner and complete their work. I will start to be more strict and intentional in how I handle those who are missing their assignments. All students are working hard, please encourage them to continue to do so!
