the beginning of each class.  If no assignment is given for that day "No Homework" should be written.

Students must show their pass ( written in the front of their organizers) 
 to the hall monitor before they will be allowed to report to the 
classroom.  It is imperative that they have materials to work on, i.e.  test, 
quiz, daily work, homework, missing assignments or a concept they are 
not clear on.
