Can I turn in an assignment late?

If you are an 8th grader, I will not accept late homework for credit.  I will
accept graded assignments a day late for partial credit.

If you are a 7th grader, I will accept homework a day late for half credit.  I
will accept graded assignments a day late for partial credit.

Where can I turn to for assignments when I am absent?

If you are absent, it is your responsibility to see me to find out the work
you have missed.  As for homework, you can look on Miss Bishop's website under
the Homework section.  You may also ask a friend what the homework is.

How can I be successful in Miss Bishop's class?

If you come to class prepared and with an open mind, there is no limit to your
potential in this class.  English is very subjective and therefore you need to
be willing to make mistakes.  It is how you improve upon those mistakes that
will determine your success.  Come to class willing to take risks and you will
have a great year!
