Homework: I view homework as that work which is started in class and not completed! I also view it as projects/AR readings needed to be done at home. 

(6) books MUST be tested on by the end of the 9 week grading period! Pay very close attention to the emailed progress reoprts received on Fridays. An empty space will appear in the slot for the grade for the 25 Book Standard until a test has been taken. When a test has been taken, a grade will be put in. In order for a grade to be placed in the slot, a student must make a passing score of 70 on the test. If no test is taken by a specified date, a grade of 0 will be entered.
