HOMEWORKHomework will be assigned MOST nights and should be a way for students to PRACTICE at home. It is graded on a 2-point scale:

2 = complete and MOSTLY correct1 = complete with MANY mistakes

0 = incomplete or lateLate homework will not be accepted.

MISSED WORK/ABSENCE

It will be the student’s responsibility to gather and make up all work missed during an absence.

Assignments are expected to be turned in as soon as possible.

There is a class bulletin board where worksheets are posted (when necessary).

SECOND CHANCE LEARNING[ERROR LOG]

When a student fails a formative quiz, he/she is given the opportunity to earn back 50% of the points missed due to concept mistakes (not careless errors).

This assignment is voluntary and must be completed one school day after the test is handed back.

The “Error Log” is available in class and online –

and can always be emailed home if needed.
