General information:

•Basic school rules and those of mutual respect apply

•I feel they should be rewarded a sensible assumption of maturity as they are now 10th graders and treat them accordingly.

•Homework is frequent…Longer assignments are accorded a longer time to finish.Don’t be surprised if they have weekend homework.

•Homework is always posted on the right side of the board under HW .
