Reminders:
1. 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 not 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).
D.
Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted.
