notes organized in a spiral notebook.
The homework will provide practice of the material presented in class.
Assignments are due the day, time, and period that is instructed.
It is important for students to save all homework, notes and other assigned
materials. These materials will be great study aides.
Quizzes and Tests
Quizzes and tests will be given periodically throughout the semester. Tests will
be given at the end of each unit. Tests can consist of multiple choice, matching, fill in the
blank, true-false, short answer, and essay. A final will also be given at the end of each
semester.

Students have two school days for each excused absence to make up work. This
includes absences for illness. Students absent for school business are expected to
communicate that with me before leaving for their school business.
