Reminders:
These are a few reminders
concerning homework and classwork:
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors
will not be accepted).
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).

illegible will not be accepted.

day classes each Tuesday from 3:00-5:00 for Math.
