First, check this website for "Do Nows" and homework. Under the "Class Notes" section you can get an outline of what you missed that day. Second, call a friend and see what else you missed.

What is the homework policy?
Homework will count as 10% of your grade. It is expected to be completed on the day it is due unless you are absent. In most cases, homework can be handed in one day late for half credit as long as the agenda is signed by a parent. After that, any late homework will be given a zero. Homework is important and can help improve your grade so make sure it is done on time!Back to Top
