Homework Policy

*When you are absent or miss a class, you are responsible for the missed work. Look on X2 to find out what homework was assigned. It is best if you do the assignment on the night it is given and not wait until you return to school.

*For missed assignments due to absence, you have as many days as you were out to make up any assignment. Long-term absences will be discussed at that time.

*TERM 1&2

Missed assignments not due to absence, may be handed inONE DAY LATE FOR PARTIAL CREDIT. If the assignment is not turned in by the NEXT CLASS it is graded as a ZERO.

*TERM 3&4

Homework assignments will not be accepted late. Homework not turned in during class will be marked as ZERO.

*There is NO extra credit work, so it is important that you do your homework on time.

*Homework is considered LATE if it is not out on your desk when I check it.

*All homework & classwork must be done in PENCIL, unless otherwise told so. Assignments written in pen will not receive full credit.

*All homework should be kept in your NOTEBOOK.
