Homework Contacting Me
It is important that students have a homework buddy from their homeroom class who will get assignments and messages to them should a student be absent from class.

Please e-mail me at mthrom@st-thomasmore.org should you have questions about the progress of your child. Students should pick up handouts from Mr. Throm.
 

Make-up/late work, Make-up Tests
Unless otherwise noted, late homework and make-up tests will follow the policies outlined in the STM Parent Student Handbook.

It is important to be on time to technology class since this special is not a daily class. Students are tardy if they are not sitting at a work station when the tardy bell rings.  If students are tardy three times in one quarter, they will be given a detention.
Organizational Skills
After prayer, roll will be checked.  During this time, students are expected to prepare for class by getting materials out and logging on to the network. Students are not allowed to go to lockers for forgotten materials. Each class students will need their green folders.
