Late Work Policy:Any work received after the due date is considered late work.Exceptions:If you were absent the day it was due, and were here when it was assigned, then you must turn it in the first day you are back in class. If it is not turn in at that time then it is late.If you are absent for a several days, then you will have a reasonable amount of time to turn your work. 1 to 1 weeks NOT 3 weeks!Any late work will receive 80% credit of their score. Example: Your homework score was 10/10 (100%) x .80= 80%.

Redo PolicyIf you have a 79% or lower on any homework, quiz or test, you can retake it. If you want to retake a quiz or test I require that you set up a time with me to come in and go over the quiz/test so we can see how you can do better. There will date posted when I will no longer accept any retakes or missing work. It will be your responsibility to keep track of your grade and missing assignments. Times for coming in and redoing or making up work will be posted weekly on the class Sign Up clipboard by the door. It will be the students responsibility to sign up.

Missing Work Policy:If you have an excused absence:You have that many days that you were absent for to make up that work and turn it in. Example: Sally was absent for two school days. Thus Sally has two school days to get work made up. If you have an unexcused absence:You can turn in any work and make-up tests but any work turned in will be considered late.

Extra Credit PolicyTypically the only extra credit that I give is a bonus question on a test of quiz. But for whatever reason wants/needs to bring up their grade (letter or citizenship), one can bring in following:1 box of Kleenex1 box of pencils1 package of lined paper1 box of colored pencils/markers1 box of whiteboard markers 5 days of the weekday comics of the Gazette.

Help Sign UpHelp Sign Up gives you the opportunity to come in for help, make up work etc. Since I cant keep track of 150 students and their schedules, the sign up lets me know that I need to be somewhere.TIPS:Make sure you check the schedule first to see if Im available.If you sign up dont forget. Students who sign up and forget to come in will get a referral.If you are signing up to come in before or after school, make sure your ride knows.
