• All assignments are due at the beginning of the period. Assignments submitted mid or at the end of the period will not be accepted.
• Follow guidelines and directions when completing assignments. Failure to follow guidelines will result in a lowered grade.
• Failure to turn in assignments promptly will result in a zero. Don’t wait till the last minute to complete assignments/ projects! Use a planner and keep organized. I realize that you may have a busy schedule, so plan ahead.
• I will not pursue you about missed work; you must check your planner, check with your fellow students, and get any notes or explanations from a trusted classmate.
