Homework and Late Assignments There is no option to skip an assignment.  You will complete every assignment.  The only zeros in the grade book will be from cheating or plagiarism (both of which I, and the school, take very seriously).   Late Assignments Late assignments hurt your educational progress and your grade.  Work being turned in late will be subject to a reduction in your score.  Late assignments will have a maximum score of 65.

Mrs. L’s Pet Peeve Participation grades are from bell to bell.

Bathroom!

You will be successful and I know all of you can be.
