Late Assignments and Absences:
- Homework assignments may be turned in one day late for half credit (50%). The assignment must be received by homeroom on the next school day. Please note: on days two, three, four, etc. it will remain a zero.
- If you are absent, check the website to see what you have missed, talk with a classmate, or see a teacher immediately upon your return. You are always responsible for any work that you miss during an absence.
- Extra credit work may not be requested. If you complete assignments on time and put forth your best effort throughout the marking period, you won't need it! :)
