Classwork

Please write all assignments in your S.M.S. Planner.

     No late homework will be accepted without a late pass!

   Homework will be assigned daily.

Late Homework: Students have been given passes that may be used throughout the first three quarters for late homework assignments. Before turning in the late assignment the student will need to have a parent sign the pass. The student will then attach the pass to the completed late assignment. Parents please do not sign the Late Pass until the late homework assignment is completed. The student now has an opportunity to earn full credit for the assignment. If a late assignment is turned in without a late pass no credit will be earned.

Late passes are the student's responsibility. Lost passes will not be replaced.

First Quarter = 3 late passes Second Quarter = 2 late passes
Third Quarter = 1 late pass Fourth Quarter = 0 late passes

Projects

     Projects are extensive assignments that usually take a few days to complete. Please do not put these assignments off until the last minute. Projects are due when you walk into the classroom.

Late Projects: Late Projects will be accepted, however, the student will not earn full credit. Projects turned in late will automatically lose two letter grades. The Project grade will start with a C.

   
DG's

If a student misses a DG Test due to an excused absence it is their responsibility by the end of the quarter to make-up the test before school or after school.

     Two Daily Geography questions will be assigned when the students enter the room. It is the responsibility of the students to copy down the questions and find the answers by Thursday. The students will have time during class to show me their answers. I will then confirm their correct answers by putting my initials next to each question. Students should diligently collect these signatures so that he/she may study the correct answers for the test.

DG Test
