Homework Hotline
The telephone system allows for us to
help better serve our students. A
homework hotline is open each day
after school for students to call when
they have questions about homework.
Teachers can leave their assignments
with the ho-line specialist so there is
information available for each class.
Parents can also make use of this hot
line by calling it. They are able to
check what assignments their child
gets each day. They can also use this
hotline to see what their child missed
if they are absent.
