If the student fails to come to the classroom at this time, he/she will receive a zero

BE ON TIME • Note: • Since we do not currently have a bell system in place, the teacher's ipad will be set up to go off at the time class starts. If you walk into the classroom after the ipad goes off, you will not be allowed in and will be considered to be late. • This system will be implemented until the school's bell system is in place

LATE HOMEWORK/ASSIGNMENTS • Homework must be turned in at the beginning of class or when the teacher asks for it • If it is turned in at any other time (even if it is during the same school day) the assignment will be considered to be late • Late assignments will automatically receive a 25% off your grade • Late assignments turned in after two days will receive a 50% off your grade • Late assignments will not be accepted after three days • Homework will be part of your grade

MISSED SCHOOL? • It is your responsibility to catch up! • Your assignments will be placed in the folders on the wall. It is your responsibility to grab them! • The amount of time you’ll have to turn in your assignments will be proportional to the amount of time you were gone (example: If you miss one day, you will have one day to turn your assignments in. If you miss 3 days you will have three days to turn them in etc. ) Late homework/assignments policy still applies • If you miss school and have an acceptable excuse, you will be allowed to take your daily quizzes during recess. However, it is your responsibility to ask the teacher for your quiz. If you fail to do this, you will receive a zero on those quizzes (But remember that the three lowest grades will be dropped.
