Agenda Books are filled out at the beginning of each week with the homework assignments for the entire week. These assignments will also be on school-wires.
A score of 0-4 is given for each assignment.
Scores are based on quality and quantity of work; not right or wrong.
Missed homework assignments can be made up same day after school for ¾ credit or by the next class for half credit.

7. HOMEWORK The amount of time spent on homework will vary.
In general no more than 45 minutes should be spent on a daily assignment.
Work must be done neatly in either pen or pencil. If pen is used, the work cannot be full of crossouts. Erasable pen is another good option.
