You are responsible for your Make-Up work. When you return, copy your assignments from the Homework board and pick-up any worksheets from daily folder in blue crate. You will have one day for each day you are absent to get it turned in. If you miss a quiz, see me ASAP to make it up.
I will not ask, that’s your job.
All grades will be posted as a zero until you make up the work.
3. WHAT DO I DO WITH MY HOMEWORK?
Papers will be due at the beginning of your class period. Completed late papers will be accepted with a fifty point penalty.
8th Grade – 2nd Semester I will accept NO LATE WORK.
Gotta get you ready for Lamar!
4. CAN I GET CREDIT FOR SOMEONE ELSE’S WORK?
NO! Cheating of any kind will not be tolerated and will result in a zero and a parent phone call.
