Reminders:
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted) and pencil is not allowed.
B. If the assignment states that looseleaf is to be used, no other types of
paper will be accepted (paper ripped out of notebooks or legal pads is
unacceptable.
C. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a note
from a parent explaining why you did not complete your HW.
This will only be accepted if there is an emergency at home (not
because you were too tired or that you had too much other HW).

will not be accepted.

A test will be given every week on the chapters assigned to be read for that week. Your child will be allowed to use both notes and the book for the test. The book must be returned on the day of the test. A new book will not be given to your child until the previous one is returned. If the book gets lost or damaged, your child must replace it!
