HOMEWORK Policy:
Assignments will not be accepted more than 2 days past the due date (unless otherwise noted).  Late assignments are subject to 75%(1st day) or 50%(2nd day) of the credit.  It is imperative that students keep up with the assignments, as the upcoming skills build off of the previously taught skills.

Homework Quality Checklist:
    Read ALL instructions
    Answer ALL questions
    Show all work
    Use ONLY PENCIL
    Short answer does not mean one word answer
    Write numbers clearly
    No rounding unless asked
    Double-check your work

Reminder to students and parents:  Calculators are not to be used when completing math homework, unless otherwise noted.  All work needs to be shown on paper, which is to be handed in with the assignments.  

***

Check out the Flash Cards at the top of the screen!

****

EXTRA HELP:
I am generally available during lunch and after school, except for the second Tuesday of each month (staff meeting). I will try to post here any other days on which I am UNavailable to students for help.  

If a student would like to come for help during LUNCH, please stop by in the morning, so that I can plan accordingly. If a student is staying after school, the student must have a note from parent/guardian giving permission for them to stay.  
Thank you!

****

Re-Take Policy for Graded Assignments:  
ALL students who received below a 75 on a quiz or test should correct the quiz/test on a separate sheet of paper showing all work (using notes, book, help from others including Mrs. Swanson), then attach it to the original and resubmit it. The new grade will contribute to the end-of-quarter grade, and more importantly, the student will have an opportunity to confirm that they now understand the material. The corrected assignment does not replace the original grade.  However, it will better prepare the student and reinforce the topic for future assignments and assessments.
