NOTE: Everyone is expected to turn in EVERY assignment, ON TIME.
You CAN do this!! It just takes a little organization and planning.
Second Quarter Policy: All late work will receive only 50% of the possible
score, unless you were absent and are making it up. (If that is the case, be
sure to write "Absent" at the top of your paper when you put it in the green
box.) Make your work a priority, and get it turned in on time! You all start
fresh second quarter with an A in every subject. It is up to you to keep your
grade there.
