Assignments and Grades:
Makeup work will be expected 3 days after the student has received the assignment. If a test or quiz is to be made up, the student may take the test the day he or she returns to school, or the student may schedule a time with the teacher after school.
Students are responsible for writing down their late work and/or makeup work and keeping up with what day it is due or will be accepted.
Bellringers will be given daily. Students who are late to class will receive a ZERO for the day’s bellringer unless they bring an excuse slip with them to class. If a student is absent for the day, the day’s bellringer will not be made up, but it also will not count against the student. At the end of every week, the bell ringers from the week will count as one grade.
Classwork will occur regularly. If it is not finished in class, most of the time students will be allowed to take it home to finish.
All lessons will be posted on Google Classroom.
