Homework/Projects Homework must be at least 95% complete. Lack to do so, will result in a homework card. Students must download the Remind app to receive homework and other important updates. I will assign projects and writings in class. Some will be simply in writing and others will be oral presentations. Work done effortlessly will not be accepted. If a grade of a D or F is earned, you must redo and turn in for a better grade.

Absences When a student returns to class, the student must bring a re-admit slip the same day to class. Lack in doing so, the student will be sent to the office and will be marked tardy and receive a tardy card. A student has one week after the absence to turn in any missing assignments. After the week, they will not be accepted. REMINDER: It is the responsibility of the student to ask for and turn in all assignments to the teacher in order to receive credit.

Exams/Quizzes If the student is missing the day of an exam, they must complete it the day they return. Unless arrangements have been made with the teacher.
