Reminders:
These are a few reminders
concerning homework and classwork:
A. 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).
B. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors
will not be accepted).
C. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or
illegible will not be accepted.
D. 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).
F. Gym uniforms must be worn on Thursdays for gym.
G. Unit Exams start this Friday, 3/13 with Reading.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
