During an absence, you can access this website for any homework you might
miss. I will try my best to update every day. You should always call your
homework buddy for homework help or to find out the assignment. You can
always email me directly if you have any questions.
* Homework is an important part of your learning and will only be assigned if
it is relevant and beneficial. Homework assignments are graded on a scale of
0-5; based on EFFORT rather than accuracy. You need to bring your homework
to class WHEN IT IS DUE and WHEN YOU COME TO CLASS if you expect to earn
credit for doing it. You will not be allowed to go to your locker to get it,
nor will it be accepted during SAT, later in the day, or after school.
Students who do not have it with them at the beginning of class will not earn
credit for doing the assignment and it will be recorded as a zero.
