What do I have for homework?
First, check your planner. Each day when I am going over homework, you should
be writing down what you have done in class and
what you still need to do at home. If you did not fill in your planner, if
you need additional information or if you were absent, check the homework link
on my home page.

Does AR go towards our Language Arts grade?
Yes!!! AR accounts for 10% of your language arts grade. Therefore, it
is extremely important to read each night and meet your AR goals.:]
What happens if I do not do my homework?
If you do not complete an assignment the day that it is due you will be assigned to lunchtime
Solutions. “Solutions” is a program we started to give students a quiet place to complete their
unfinished homework. If you do not turn an assignment in on time, you will have to use a portion
of your lunchtime to make it up or finish. If you attend Solutions and turn your HW in the next
class, you will be given up to 50% of the original grade. If you do not finish the assignment or
do not attend Solutions, you will earn a 0%. Solutions will be assigned each day until the
assignment is complete. If, however, you do not attend Solutions, you will be assigned detention
and will lose merits.
