Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
Will there be homework every night?
We only meet three times a week, so homework is no more than three times a week. Please check the homework link for your course. The Algebra I Honors course link has all the assignments for this first nine weeks already posted. Algebra I & IA assignments will be posted soon. That way if you need to work ahead, you and your parents already know what is coming.Back to Top

What about late homework? Can it still be passed in?
That depends on the circumstances. Late homework is accepted for excused absences up to the number of days of excused absences. Otherwise it is always best to submit it subject to a possible lower grade. However, a lower grade is better than a ZERO. My tolerance for unexcused late homework is quickly diminishing. When you do not do your homework, then you are not prepared for class. When you are not prepared for class you learn significantly less. With the double length classes twice a week, there is no time to waste.Back to Top
