Reminders:
These are a few reminders
concerning homework and classwork:

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).

will not be accepted).

illegible will not be accepted.

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).

cover is suggested.
F. Gym uniforms must be worn on Wednesdays for
gym.
