Homework builds responsibility, self-discipline, and good time management skills.

Students are expected to turn in their homework on time.

For each late/missing assignment, students will receive a Late Work Slip that needs to be signed by a parent/guardian and returned the following day with the completed assignment.

Please refer to the Homework Policy in my course syllabus for specific information in regard to late and absent work.
