In Class Assignments In class assignments will not be accepted for a late grade! Turn in Homework assignments on your way in or on your way out.

Always Turn Something in… Pink Slip: Located at the Student Center If your dog eats your homework make sure you turn in a Pink Sheet. If you don’t take them time to feel out the pink sheet, you can not submit it for a late grade. This will be used to keep organized as well as parent conferences.
