Therefore, every middle school student will complete every assignment. • Assignments are expected to be completed on time. Assignments not completed on time are marked as missing. • Students having 3 or moremissing assignments in the current term will be assigned ICU until the missing work is complete. • Students will report directly to the ICU at the beginning of their lunch period. Students will work diligently for 15 minutes and then will be released to the lunch room. • If students do not attend assigned ICU, parent meetings will be scheduled. • ICU room is also available daily from 7:15 to 7:50, during lunches and from 2:30-3:00.
