In order to cover a substantial amount of curriculum, 8th graders will often have to finish their Monday grammar assignments on NOREDINK within the assigned week (Sunday @ midnight)
I do not accept late homework unless a student is absent on the due date. In that case,the expectation is that homework is turned in the day of return.
I do NOT offer extra credit. Students are afforded several opportunities to show mastery of the course curriculum. Students are offered a test retake option for failing a unit test. Students must fill out the form, obtain a parent signature, and arrange a retake opportunity during Foxes Den.
Exception for **8th graders may be given essay opportunities to complete to replace failing essay grades earlier in the quarter. Those have a required holistic score of 5.0 or higher.
