About Ms. Kern
Ms. Kern graduated from UCLA with a degree in history, and began teaching in 1988.  After seventeen years teaching grades 1 – 5, she decided to move on up to middle school for a new and exciting teaching experience.  Says Ms. Kern proudly:  “I am a mid-western girl from Illinois. I have two beautiful daughters and wonderful husband. In my free time I enjoy kick boxing, running, and Kung Fu. Fight-on!”

Very soon after the teacher grades a test or assignment, it is updated for parents and students on Zangle ParentConnect.

a. Call a Study Buddy (at the start of the school year your student should exchange phone numbers with at least two students per class); or
b. Look up the assignment in Zangle ParentConnect (Parent needs to login with parent PIN/ Password.*)
c. See teacher.

2. Obtain any missed handouts:
a. Prearrange with a Study Buddy that if either of you is absent, the other should pick up an extra set of handouts from the teacher; then you and your parent should arrange (with the family that picked up) for FAXing or pickup of the handouts; or
b. Obtain handout from teacher upon student's return.

3. Get any explanation you need:
See teacher before or after school.

District policy stipulates that a student has as many days as he/she was absent to make up missed work. However, it is desirable that as much work as possible be done during one's absence.
No late work accepted in math, science or social science, except after excused absences.
