Homework: All homework assignments are due on the due date. Assignments not turned in on time will points off. Exceptions will be made for excused absences, sickness and family emergencies.
Absences: If your child is absent for any reason they are responsible for getting the homework from me and turning in the work by the appropriate date. If a student was absent the day a homework assignment was due he or she must turn the assignment in the day they return to class.
Plagiarism: During the school year students will have the opportunity to do research, however, it is important for them to give credit to the original authors. Students will learn to paraphrase works and turn them into their own words. If a student is caught plagiarizing they will receive a failing grade for the assignment.
Cheating: It is a school wide policy that if a student is caught cheating on any assignment they will receive a zero for that assignment.
Failing: If any student fails a quiz, test or project they must get that assignment signed by a parent and return it to school the next day.
