Planner Use

Students will be expected to write all homework assignments in their planners everyday

Students should “look ahead” in their planner to manage time for completion of projects, AR books to be finished, tests, quizzes and study guide due dates

Timed Tests given weekly Students are given notice when upcoming TESTS

are...BE SURE TO STUDY PRIOR TO THE NIGHT BEFORE THE TEST!
