Homework

Homework is expected to be done. Homework will be counted as a grade toward 
your semester grade. It will have the same weight as classwork grades. My 
grading policy is 50% tests, 25% quizzes, and 25% homework/classwork.

Homework should be written down by your child on a daily basis. I am placing 
homework on the web site as a courtesy.  However, teaching is fluid and 
plans often change. If my homework does change I will try to update but I 
cannot gaurantee.  I am human and will try my best. I will repeat that it is 
the student's responsibility to write their homework down.
