If it is discovered that you have cheated on or plagiarized an assignment, you will receive an automatic zero with no option to make up the missed points.
I offer a small selection of books for checkout in my classroom. Please note that I have not read every book in my selection, and many of the novels deal with mature themes. All books should be discussed with a parent or guardian before you read them.
Homework
Homework will be due at the beginning of class. Do not ask to print out an assignment at the start of class. If it's not printed and ready to be turned in, it's late. In the case of an excused absence, you will have the same number of days to turn in your late work as the number of days you were absent. It is the student's responsibility to complete any work missed during an absence. If you have a planned absence or are going to miss class for a school related activity, please meet with me ahead of time to collect your assignments early.
Credit for late assignments will be reduced by 25 percent per day late (e.g. two days late results in 50 percent off your final score). No late assignments will be accepted once a unit is complete. Please make a habit of checking Skyward to be sure you aren't missing work.
