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.

Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted. Crossing out is
