Homework Policy
• Homework is not only a requirement by the teacher, it is also part of their grade. Points are given per assignment per teacher. These points go towards their homework grade.
• Policy – Students may have ONE extra day to complete an assignment but will be docked one point. The assignment will not be accepted after that and the student will receive ZERO points.
• All missed homework when the students are absent becomes their responsibility to make up. number of days absent = number of days to make it up.
