Classroom Policies/ Procedures

Late Work: I accept late work, but there will be a penalty. For each day that an assignment is late, 5 points will be subtracted from the grade. If the assignment is never turned in, the grade will be 0.  

Make-up work must be completed and turned in within five days of an absence.  Students are responsible for checking with the teacher with any questions about make-up work.

***Students are to be in the classroom at bell time!
