Homework The purpose of homework is to practice, and/or reinforce concepts we are working on in class. Credit is given for completion, not perfection. If your child has trouble with HW, he/she is expected to problem solve using any available resources (notes, textbook, websites, logic, reasoning). If they are unable to find a solution, they should come to class with any methods or strategies that were attempted and be prepared to ask questions. Homework is assigned in class approximately 2-4 nights per week, and will be posted on my website.

Absences When absent, it is the responsibility of student to: Homework and assessments must be made up when absent. Students have one day for every day absent to make up homework for full credit. When absent, it is the responsibility of student to: Check Ms. Sunday’s website for class information, assignments and/or notes. Copy class notes, complete and turn in missed assignments. See teacher to schedule a convenient time to make-up missed assessments.
