Students at Hurricane High are expected to complete ALL assignments within the time frame allotted for the assignment. Students will need to consult with their teacher if an assignment is not handed in on time. Students will attend TAG until all assignments are completed and handed in. The consequence for not doing the work is “doing the work.”
