La Tarea

Homework is primarily assigned to junior high grades. Homework is due at the beginning of each class and may be turned in early by submitting it to my mailbox which is located in the office. Please ask your homeroom teacher or someone in the office to help. There may be an occasional homework assignment given to grades 3-5. If so, students have a week to complete the assignment.

Late homework will not be accepted unless there are special circumstances, an illness, etc. and must be approved by me. If the student is going to be absent on the day a homework or project is due, please make arrangements to turn in early or notify me. If you are absent, you are still responsible for any assignments and will be due at the beginning of the next class.
