Grading policy: Points based quizzes, tests, and projects
Quiz corrections available for most quizzes, and must be turned in prior to or on the date of the unit test. Quiz corrections cannot be performed on a standards-based assessment (7th grade only).

Extra help: I am available daily during ELT, and by appointment in the mornings before school. Students are encouraged to ask questions regarding homework on Google Classroom, and/or email me privately as needed.

Homework: Homework is given nightly, and should take roughly 15 minutes (7th grade) and 45 minutes (Algebra) . Parents who observe their children continually taking longer are encouraged to contact me.
