It is the student's responsibility to make up and

 be turned in a bin by my desk.

 

 

 

 

 

Test can be made up during class time but instructional

 

 

 

 

 

time will be missed. The student can come before school, 

 

 

 

 

 

after school with parents permission to pick up student

Homework grading

 

 

 

 

5.  

HHomework grade is out of 50 pts every week.  

 

 

    

   

 

The student will receive the averages of how many they did

 

 

 

 

 

that week over how many I have given that week.

 

 

 

 

 

For example:

 

 

 

 

 

I assigned 5 homework’s this week and the student only did

 

 

 

 

 

3 homework assignments, so I take 3 and divide it by 5 and

 

 

 

 

 

that give me the student 60% out of 100% which is equal

 

 

 

 

 

to 30 pts out of 50pts.
