5. If you are caught or suspected of cheating on an assignment, you will receive a zero and a referral to the office, even if you let someone “borrow” your work. This also includes copying items off the internet. Your work must be in your own words!
6. It is your responsibility to turn in your work on the day it is assigned. Work will not be accepted late.
7. Makeup Work -You are responsible to see Ms. Selby upon your return to find out what you missed.

If you cut class, a zero will be given for the missed assignment.
