Homework Policy

Homework Policy:
Every assignment is worth 10 points. If a student misses more than 30% of the homework, they will receive 5 points on the assignment. However, they have an opportunity to correct the incorrect problems and turn in the assignment the following day to receive the full 10 points.
Late homework will not be accepted unless the student has an excused absence and then they will have 3 days to make it up.

The key to success is practice nearly every evening to reinforce the concepts and applications.
