*Any work not completed in class is homework!
*Late assignments receive partial credit. You have one week to make any late assignments up and then they become a zero. Parents please note your child's Missing Assignments each week. If the AB or 0% grades are not crossed off and initialed by the teacher then the assignments are still missing from the teacher's grade book. I will not make phone calls home. This form is my note to you each week.

Grade print outs may be requested at any time. Remember assignments with scores of 80% or lower should be redone for a higher grade. Don't settle for anything less from yourself. Take every advantage to ask QUESTIONS and LEARN from life.
Thought for the week: Teachers first help students to find their dreams, then to follow them.
