Motivation for the Week:
"Anger makes your mouth work faster than your mind."

Important: For Periods 1&3 we will be handling Homework Packets differently for the remainder of the semester.

  • Homework Packets will be collected at the end of each unit, on test day. It will be graded as a homework assignment.
  • Crossword puzzles will continue to receive a grade individually, not as part of the Homework Packet grade.
  • Homework Packets will receive a score from 0 - 10 and will be graded wholistically on both accuracy and completion.
  • In order to be eligible for Test Corrections, a student must earn an 8.5 or greater on their Homework Packet. Please note, a late Homework Packet cannot earn a grade higher than a 7, automatically making the student ineligible for Test Corrections.
