This is a list each quarter that rewards those students who are doing their work and being successful students.
Each students’ name starts on the list each quarter.
If you turn in an assignment late, your name is taken off the list.
If you forget your book on Fridays, or you do not have work completed when we grade it in class, your name is also taken off the list.
If you do not complete your warm ups each week, your name is taken off the list.
If you are caught cheating or plagiarizing others’ work or material, you are taken off the list.

Free late homework passes.

The passes not used by the end of each semester can be turned in for extra credit points.
Once you have been removed from the list each quarter, you cannot be put back on the list until the next quarter.
