Student Planner/Handing in Homework
Assignments that need to be finished at home should be written in the student’s planner every day. Students are responsible to write homework in their planners at the end of each class, as needed.

Late/Missing Assignments
Communication is a big component. If a student is unable to get something done and knows ahead of time, we expect them to communicate with us and we can work on extensions. If I don’t hear anything, I assume they should have it done! Obviously exceptions do apply.. Sick, out-of-town, parent note for other scenarios, etc.
