Attendance

1. You are expected to be in class on time every day. This means that you are in your seat by the bell, with your books open, pens out, ready to work.
2. If you are late twice, points are taken off your participation average. If you are late three times, your parent/guardian will be notified and you will serve detention, regardless of what activities you have planned.
3. If you are absent, it is YOUR responsibility to collect the work you have missed and to complete the assignments within ONE WEEK.

Homework

Homework can take the form of reading, writing, or reviewing. It is important that you stay on top of your work.  If you have trouble keeping up, see me.  Do not wait until the last minute.  Homework is due on the day it is assigned; late homework will receive no credit but will help with your class participation grade.
