Homework Policy

Math:

I do not assign homework for math. Any assignments or projects assigned will have varying due dates depending on the length of the assignment, but students will have the opportunity to work on these in class. Please refer to the daily agendas posted on Google Classroom. 

Science:

I do not assign homework for science. Any group work/projects/reports will have varying due dates depending on the length of the assignment, but students will have the opportunity to work on these in class. Please refer to the daily agendas posted on Google Classroom.

Due to the fact that science is mainly hands-on/lab based, students have an opportunity to work with and learn science material during school. This means that quizzes given at the end of every science unit will be NO NOTES! Students will be given a study guide as well a review session in class prior to taking a quiz or test. 

*Students are highly encouraged to use their student planners to keep track of assignments/classwork/tests and their due dates.
