Assignments and Late Work Due dates are final. I don’t chase students for their work in Spanish 3. Assignments should be turned into the bin for the appropriate class period. Work without names will receive reduced points. 10% will be deducted for each class period an assignment/project/assessment is late . After 5 class periods it will be a max of 50% including projects. See me to schedule a time if you need to make up a quiz. Homework is checked at the beginning of class, it will not be accepted after we go over it. Late assignments will not be accepted after an IPR or Report Card is issued. This is a school policy. Attendance and Absences If you are absent, it is 100% your responsibility. YOU MUST OPEN THE CLASSROOM BINDER AND READ THE AGENDA PAGE FIRST!! Check Google Classroom! The binder is on the table AND the AGENDA page will list what we did, if there were handouts that you missed, or notes. READ IT CAREFULLY! Take a picture of it! Next to the item it will say what you need to do with it, turn it in, keep it in your binder, etc. Googleclassroom will be used! If you have any questions, ask a classmate first. If you have questions wait until it’s a good time to ask. Don’t intterupt class for what you missed. Jump back into class and be patient! Complete the assignment within the amount of time of your absence. If you were missing one class period, you have one class period to make it up. If you were missing two class period , you have two class periods to make it up. Anything after 5 class periods will be half credit to a 0. Projects will receive a max of 50%.
