The homework policy for Science is as follows:
Absent day assignment is due-   student is required to hand in assignment as soon as he/she returns to class  If there is a reason that the student could not complete on time, let me know that day and we will go from there)

Absent day the lesson was assigned- student will have 2 days after he/she returns to get full credit

Student hands in assignment 1 day late- 1/2 credit, any later 0 credit

**Study guides are the exception to the late rule and must be done by due date.  We go over answers in class, and student is required to complete study guide as we discuss it in class.

If there is ever any reason that your child could not complete their homework and get it in on time, please let me know the day it is due.  I will accommodate as needed.  There will be no accommodations given at a later time.

**Homework is the key to keeping their GPA high.  Multiple missed hw assignments will bring their averages down.
