Homework Policy:
    *   Homework is graded on an 8 point scale.
    *   If the homework is not completed it is given a late grade
           because commonly we review homework in class
           so students hear correct answers and can then use that
           information when completely late work

Test Make-up - For 1st and 2nd quarters only:
    *Any test may be made up for half the points lost. 
        For example if earned a grade of 30 out of 50 points,
        he/she could make the test up to a 40 out of 50 points.
    *Test make-up is held after school from 2:30 - 3:05. 
       It may be made up on one of the designated (5) nights
         unless negotiated with teacher.    
        Students must stay for the entire makeup session.
    * Quizzes cannot be made up.
Help and Support:
    *I am available to support students after school to make up
         missed work, reinforce concepts or help with homework.
    *I am available before school when pre-arranged - I am at
         school by 7:10 but am not usually in my room.
    *I am available at lunch/recess when arranged - must work
        around my school duties.
    *Study Group is offered before all tests.  Students are welcome to
        come for part or all of study group.  Study Group is held after
        school.
