Reminders:
These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
A. All school supplies should have been in today.
B. Please return all Parent Signature papers if you have not done so!
C. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).
D. 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).
E. 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. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted.
G. Please cover all textbooks and workbooks. A clear plastic cover is suggested.

Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
