Homework assignments received when due (or before) will earn full credit. Zeroes will be earned for assignments that are not completed when due. Agendas are highly recommended for keeping track of assignments. Students who leave assignments in lockers will be allowed to turn work in before the beginning of the next period for full credit and a pass will be written to the next class as long as this does not become a regular occurrence. A student absent on the due date of an assignment will turn in the assignment upon returning to class for full credit. Test dates are announced well in advance. Students absent the day before a test will be expected to take the test on the scheduled date. Students who have been absent will have one day for each day missed to complete assignments given while absent. A limited number of extra copies of worksheets will be kept in the "extra copy" file, but when that supply is gone, students may be required to stay after school to copy work from the original. It will be the responsibility of the student to arrange an after school meeting for this purpose. Students who fall behind on completing homework assignments may be assigned to a special "study pass" to get caught up. Grade sheets will be printed approximately 3-4 times per quarter to assist students in keeping track of progress. Friday Fun activities will be available occasionally to seventh grade students. Students who have not completed work will be assigned to study hall during these activities. Homework help is available before and after school.
