Students are responsible for information in assigned reading material regardless of whether all of that information is discussed in class. Assignments should be done on notebook paper or worksheets (not spiral or tablet paper). Math/calculation assignments should be done with a pencil. Written assignments should be in cursive with ink or on the computer as specified by the teacher.
All school policies regarding conduct, dress code, and readiness for class are in effect in this class. Students are expected to respect the teacher, guests and each other, and with God’s help, do their best in all things.
