6. Policies Candy, gum, food and beverages are not allowed in the classroom. This includes water unless the weather is extremely hot. Teachers may make exceptions for half days or other reasons. Please review the dress code and check your child’s clothing, no rips in jeans above the knee, and no short skirts even with leggings. Also no slide style shoes. Late work is not accepted in 7 th grade. Teachers often offer an “emergency” date, but it may or may not be with penalty. Homework is never accepted late, and students may not return to lockers to get it. Absences  Ask team members or a classmate first for assignments. See teacher upon return to coordinate due dates.  Each absence has a one-day grace period for making up work.

7. Green Team Pledge of Academic Honesty I promise that the work that I am submitting is my own work. I have not copied anyone else’s work, and did not receive any help unless my teacher specifically allowed me to. I pledge that no part of this work has ever been handed in before, by anyone including myself, for any other class. I also pledge that I did not help anyone else with their work on this assignment, and did not allow anyone to copy my work. I say this on my honor.
