Throughout the year,
students will be involved in hands on
and interesting projects. The projects
are designed to not only broaden student
knowledge of History, but to expand
their library/research and technology
skills.
Homework Policy
When students are given
homework, it is for the purpose of
finishing the current day's lesson, to
reinforce what had been learned or to
serve as an introduction for the next
day's lesson. Students are expected to
record their homework assignments in
their assignment pad. They can also
access their daily assignments via
Homework Hero.
All tests and
quizzes will be sent home for a
parent/guardian signature and returned
to me. This will be counted as a
homework grade.
