Catch-up Café: A Lunchtime Opportunity

If a student has a “2” in Skyward for a course taught by a FM9 teacher, it indicates that an assignment is missing, but can still be submitted. While a late penalty may apply, teachers are still willing to accept the work. To help students complete these assignments, we are offering a space in the Vista, known as the “Catch-up Café,” where students can eat lunch and work on any missing assignments with a teacher present.

How It Works:

• STUDENT Responsibility: Students will email their teacher and parents, acknowledging the missing assignment and their plan to complete it.
• Completion: If the assignment isn’t finished during lunch, the student is still responsible for completing it outside of the lunch period.
• Notifications: Students will receive a note listing any missing assignments and inviting them to attend Homework Helpers in the “Catch-up Café.”

PARENT Involvement: Enable Skyward notifications is recommended (alert whenever your student is missing an assignment or has a grade below 70).

• Sign up for push notifications on Skyward
• Join Canvas as a parent observer
