Homework Policy
Homework will be given at least three (3) times per week.  Homework is due

turned immediately following the review.  It is the student's
responsibility to pass it to the back of the row so that it can be placed
in the basket.  Homework passes may be used once per week and cannot be
used for labs, vocabulary, or chapter reviews.
