Homework

Homework will be assigned to introduce, reinforce, develop, extend or review lessons or concepts taught in science.  Depending on the complexity of the homework assignment, the teacher will determine the time allowed for completion. 

Fifty percent credit will be deducted for a late assignment.  For a long term assignment, the grade will be reduced one letter grade for each day the assignment is late.

Students are responsible for getting and completing missed homework for all absences.  One additional day will be allowed for each day a student is absent.
