If you would like to request homework, please email or call your student’s teachers. Homework can be picked up in the school office. Teachers would like 24-hour advance notice, but can usually accommodate your request if made by 9:00am the day of the absence. Teacher email addresses & phone extensions are available on the Kraxberger Web Page at http://gladstone.k12.or.us/middle/.

Teachers work with TAG students in their regular classes to provide more challenging course work or opportunities for enrichment beyond the regular course work when possible. Does this sound like something from which your child could benefit?
