What is the late work policy?
If students do not turn in an assignment on the day that it is due, the assignment becomes late. As per DISTRICT POLICY when turning in any late work, 20% will be deducted the first day late.  The second day late 20% will be deducted.  The third day late it is a zero.  It will be to your advantage to turn your work in on time.  Deadlines will be announced in class.  It is the student's responsibility to check with Miss Cunningham about any deadlines if students are not sure on when an assignment is due or is absent.

What is the make-up policy?
The policy is that students have one day for every day they are absent before it is considered late.    For example if the student is absent for 3 days, they have 3 days to complete all make-up work.  You will have two tutorial periods (approximately one week) to make up any tests or quizzes that you missed.  If you do not make up the work you missed within the time allowed it will be recorded as a permanent zero.  You are responsible for finding out what work you missed.

What is Miss Cunningham’s contact information?
You can reach me a number of ways.

My work number is 281-284-2400.

My conference period is 7th period.

What if my child’s grade is low?
Usually, there are limited reasons why a child’s grade is low.  Students must turn in all work in order to receive credit for completely the work. This means that it must be on time and with the proper heading (name, date and period).  In addition, students must study for upcoming test. Students are aware of test days usually at least 2 days prior to testing and are always given a review which is written directly from the test. Lastly, if students do not understand the topics and are not seeking information, their grades will often suffer.  My suggestion would be to make sure all work is turned in on time, study for test and come to tutoring.

What is Miss. Cunningham's tutoring time?
Tuesday and Thursday (2:30pm-3:15pm) and by appointment (any time after school if available). If a student needs assistance any time after school, they will need to come to room 212 at the ninth grade campus. I am always willing to assist a student any day of the week as long as I have no obligations or meetings. If a student need to ask questions or have additional help outside of class time, please come and see assistance from Miss. Cunningham.

What are the topics that will be discussed in biology this year?
TOPICS:

What is a Floater Teacher?
Though there are minimum floaters at CLHS, student may hear the term "floater teacher." However, in case you need clarity on what a floater teacher is, I would like to explain what a floater teacher is and why it happens. With any fast rate student population, space and amount of classrooms becomes a concern. There is a higher demand of teachers so the class size can be at a minimum. However, there are often not enough classrooms available to meet the growth demand of the school. Therefore, there are more teachers than classroom available.

So some teachers have not been assigned to one classroom which they can call their own classroom for the year. Floater teachers have been assigned different classrooms for each period. Floater teachers use classrooms that the permanent teacher has conference and is not using the classroom for the period. Some floating teachers have carts that they are able to place their teaching supplies on as they travel from one classroom to another.
