A. All classwork/homework
must be completed in blue or black ink
(other colors will not be accepted). NO PENCIL!
B. If an
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). There will be points deducted for every day your assignment is
late. After the 2nd day, the assignment will not be accepted.
D.
Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted. Crossing out is
unacceptable!

Remember homework counts as part of the total grade!
