Folders will be collected every two weeks and assignments will be graded. In order for an assignment to receive full credit, it must have a class stamp. Students must also include an assignment sheet with their folder. Points will be deducted for missing assignment sheets or unfilled assignment sheets, disorganization and illegible folders and assignments. (Messy work)
Assignments
All work should have the appropriate heading (name, date, class) and be neatly done. Assignments not meeting the appropriate standards will be returned and points will be deducted. Neatness always counts! Class work, homework, essays and projects must be legible and final essays must be written in blue or black ink. Dishonesty of any kind will not be tolerated. Cheating which includes plagiarizing material or ideas, copying someone's work allowing others to copy will result in a 0 on the assignment. Working with others does not mean copy each other’s assignments. Repeat offenses may lead to suspension.
Homework
The only homework students will have is reading, late work, absent work, or class work that was not completed. After reading assignments there will be a short pop quiz in class.
Make up or Late work

• Late work: Late work will be accepted for partial credit in the following folder collected
• Failure to submit assignment: students will receive an F.
Make up work is to be done on your own time. Students must be responsible for their own make-up work and not be dependant or rely on the teacher to tell you what you are missing.
Textbooks
Students are responsible and must take proper care of all textbooks. Any lost, stolen or damages incurred to books checked out in their name will be the responsibility of you the student, parent or guardian. In the case of class sets, all books will be checked and returned to the teacher 5 minutes before class dismissal. Any book used by the student is their responsibility. This is especially important when students will bring their own textbook or used a class set in order to complete the required assignment of the day.
