If an assignment is not complete or turned in, it will be written in the agenda and a pink homework form will be sent home so you are informed. The student is still expected to complete the work, but will lose points for lateness ( 75, 50, 0) If the student misses 3 assignments, we will keep them after school to complete the work and get organized.
