Late work will be accepted until the Friday before the last week of the quarter. Papers & Projects: * Papers and projects are assigned in conjunction with some of the units. Some aspects of these papers/projects will be completed in class; however, other parts of the work will still need to be completed at home. Plagiarism & Cheating: • We will have lessons specifically focused on plagiarism and how to avoid it. Please see page 15 in the planner to gain a better understanding of what we consider cheating and plagiarism, along with the consequences for such actions.
Absences & Tardiness Excused Absences • Students have as many days as they were absent to complete the work they missed. • It is the responsibility of the student to request all missing assignments. • You can also check my homework calendars to see what child has missed. Tardiness • Students who arrive late will require a pass to be admitted to class. Those “unexcused” will receive a warning for the first offense, then campus clean up for the second offense. See student planner for more information.
Survival Guide The Planner • All students are expected to write down homework assignments in their planner. • If there is NO homework, I have them write that down that as well. Every section for every subject should have something written in it. • The planner is a great tool containing important information. Please refer to it often.
