Purpose of Assignment Calendar: The assignment calendar is an organizational,
helping tool that can be used to keep track of assignments. The assignment
calendar can tell you when assignments are due.



Students are expected to turn in work that is complete, neat and on
time. Bring book-paper and writing tools to class everyday.
Students are given time in class to work on assignments, therefore
homework time will vary for each student depending on available materials,
work habits and organization.
Any assignment duplicated/copied will result in an “0” on all
participants’ assignment and loss of privilege to complete any extra
point assignments in the future.

Arms.
