When is homework due?
A homework assignment is due the next class after it was given. We will go over homework each day and it will be checked. The homework journals will be collected approximately every 2 weeks- I will let the students know a few days in advance and I will also post it on our announcements page.Back to Top

What happens if I am absent for a test or quiz?
As I stated in the parent letter and science contract; if you are absent the day of a test or quiz you are expected to take it the very next class period you are present unless you have a note from the doctor. If you do have a doctor's note then you will be able to take it in the next class period after you return.Back to Top

What happens if my homework is late or incomplete?
If you do not come to class prepared with your completed homework assignment you will receive a zero for that homework but you have one day to make it up. If homework is more than 2 days late it will not be accepted. If your homework is incomplete you also have one day to complete it, if you do not the incomplete will stay.Back to Top

What is the procedure for late projects?
When a project is assigned you will always be given a due date. If you are absent the day it is due you can hand it in the next day with no questions asked, however, if you are present and do not have your project on the due date you will lose points and have only one day to make it up- after two days it will not be accepted.Back to Top
