Quiz/Test Days: 

On days that students take a quiz or test they will need to bring a free reading book to class. If they do not have a free reading book they may borrow one of mine at the beginning of the class period. When the students are finished with the test they are expected to read silently.

If a student talks during a quiz or test it will be considered cheating and the student will receive a zero on the quiz or test. the student will also receive a Disciplinary Incident Report.

OPTIONAL PROJECTS:

For many chapters an optional project will be offered. If a student completes the project, the additional grade will be computed into his/her average. The projects will have specific directions and a due date. Late projects will not be collected.

 

HOMEWORK CORNER:

When a student is absent from school or misses a class for any reason, he/she will need to check the Homework Depot. It is the responsibility of the student to check the Homework Depot, complete all assignments, and turn in any assignments. For each absent day the student has one day to complete the work. Any missing assignments will count as a 0%.

 

HIGH SCHOOL SHADOW DAYS

If a student shadows at a high school, please contact myself and the office before the shadow day. Students are expected to request work before shadowing. All work must be ready to be turned in upon return.
