If your son/daughter has a “blank” space in the grade book, DO NOT be alarmed. This just means that he/she may have been absent, the teacher has not yet graded his/her work, or he/she has additional time to complete. If an assignment is late it will appear as “missing” and a default grade of zero will automatically be averaged into the overall grade.

This is the BEST way to keep up with your students progress.

1.Complete Test Corrections on a separate sheet of paper and must be completed for homework on the same day that it was returned to the student. This is for review and is required.2.Attach the corrections to the original test.3.Get a parent signature on the original test. 4.Return the Next Day5.Retest will be distributed and students will have one night to complete for homework.6.The average of the two scores will be the students replacement grade.

Homework will be assigned each evening in PreAp classes and on Monday and

Wednesdays in all other classes. Students should write all assignments in

their T-Wolf Tracker DAILY.

Homework will be counted as extra credit and points will be added to a grade. Late work will be accepted; however, points
