I LOST MY PAPER!
If you lose a paper you need to either pay a dime for a new copy... or ... (if it is an assignment) you may use the "room copy" to become familiar with the questions or directions, then write the answers on a blank sheet of paper.  The room copies are located in the front of the room (paper is in the front as well).   

WERE YOU ABSENT?

~Check this website, go to your grade level, write down your assignment, bring your admit slip to me to sign.

~Remember it is your responsibility to get what you need from me.  Please see me the day you return to school, no matter if it is a red or black day. 

~The homework for the day will be posted on the web-site by 3:30 each day. 

~Large projects will still be due on the original due date.  If you have been absent for 2 or more class days we will discuss your due date on an individual basis.

~Tests and quizzes will still be taken their originally scheduled date.

~You must complete daily assignment by the next time you have class (2 days later).

LATE WORK

~If you do not turn in your assigned homework at time it is due (beginning of class) it is considered "late work". 

~The highest score you can earn on a late assignment is 70%.  After first class day it is late, the most you can earn is half credit (50%).

~On larger projects students will drop 1 letter grade per day until the project is turned in. 

EXTRA CREDIT

~One extra credit project will be offered per quarter.  You may only do extra credit if all of your work has been turned in.
