Corrected Work Reminder

Just a reminder about homework corrections.

Students may correct work that is below a 70% and return the work to me within one week. They will get the average of the two grades.

Tests and quizzes may be corrected, but grades will NOT be adjusted.

Thank you in advance for helping your child correct work at home.

Make up Work Policy

Just a reminder, that when students are gone from school, the policy in my classroom is that make up work will be dealt with when the student returns to school, not before a planned absence. Thank you for understanding.
