It's been a whirlwind starting off school. I hope everyone is doing well and keeping up with homework and attendance.
If not, please be sure to review the school's attendance policy and your class disclosure document in regards to absences and make up work. Remember to complete make up work withing 2 weeks of your parent-excused absence. Attendance school does not make up your participation points for your absence.
Make up work options can be found in the "MORE" page tab by clicking on the Make Up Work link for dance. Printed "Dance Make Up Options" can be found in the dance room for you to take. They are in the black turning paper holder on the journal shelf.
ABSENT or TARDY? Please check in with Mrs. Di Lello if you come in late or after Mrs. Di Lello has taken roll to let her know you came in, as class may have already started. It is your responsibility to make sure your absence is changed to a tardy by the teacher if you came in late.
Keep up your good work.
Be sure to contact me or speak with me if you have problems with your grade or attendance before it gets too late.

Lone Peak High School
