Homework: Homework will be given at least once a week. A reminder will be sent home through the Remind messaging service and a verbal/visual reminder will be given each day.
Classwork: Ample time to complete class assignments will be given. These assignments may be given on paper or online.
Late Work:
Late assignments will receive a 10% penalty per day up to five days. Please understand that late work may not be immediately graded. “No Names” will be considered late work and will receive an automatic 10% deduction. “No Name” assignments will be posted on the bulletin board next to the door. If you see your assignment up there, please take it down, put your name on it and turn it into the late work basket on my desk. If they are not claimed, they will be discarded after 5 days.
Absent Work:
Onslow county policy provides students 3 days for each day out to make up any missing work. If more time is needed due to the length of the absence, please see me to discuss the matter. It is the student’s responsibility to make-up assignments and notes when they are absent. If the student is not present for a quiz or test they must make arrangements with me for a make-up.
Agenda/Homework:
All assignments and the dates that they are due will be written down in the right portion of the white board next to the “Smart Board”. This information will be written in “BLUE”. You are expected to write down in your agendas each day. Homework will not be given every night. However, you are expected to write down “No Homework” in your agenda for me to sign.

Office 365/OneNote Notebook
This year your student will mainly be using all the capabilities of Office 365.
Primarily this means getting to know:
• OneDrive – stores your student’s files online
• Mail—Email for your students to communicate with teachers
• Teams—Online classroom similar to Edmodo
OneNote Notebook—Online binder to keep your student’s work.
Remind
This is a messaging service that allows me to communicate with parents and students via mobile app, text messages, or email.
Remind will be used to send reminders for homework and assessments that was assigned to your student in class.
If your student has multiple teachers using this program, you will need to sign up for each class individually.
Please note: I will not respond to messages after 8pm until the following morning.
