participation, homework, and overall class preparation and
effort. A grade or two will be given per week.

class.

What happens if work is late?

If a homework assignment is not in class, then credit is not 
given. If it is a lab or project, then it can be handed in one
day late with a twenty point deduction. If it's later than that,
it results in a zero.

What happens if I am absent?

You need to make up the work at recess time within a day or two, 
so you don't get a zero.

What happens if I cannot do my homework?

Ask your parents or an adult in your home help you.  If they 
cannot help you, then have your parent write a note stating that
you both tried. but it couldn't be done. If you do this, then
you won't receive a zero for homework.
