    black paw  No Late Work! If you turn an assignment in and earn a low grade, redo assignment on a new sheet of paper and staple to original to earn back points.

    black paw  Homework:  Study 15-20 minutes every night!  Redo assignments with a low grade on a new sheet of paper and staple to the original to earn back points. To study means... you should be re-writing notes, re-drawing diagrams, re-solving questions on your brain warm ups and assignments, and discussing concepts with a friend, parent, pet, etc.  To study is to be an active participant in your learning! This is a part of the process to be able to learn for keeps.

    black paw  Students will be allowed to correct quizzes.  The higher grade will be entered into the gradebook. The corrections need to be made on a separate sheet of paper and stapled to the original quiz. This needs to take place within one week of the quiz date at the teacher's discretion. (Tests are not eligible for retakes as it is a summative score and represents mastery of content.)
