If you are late, you will be marked tardy. You will be assigned a detention. Hall Passes: No hall pass will be issued during the first 10 minutes of class or the last 10 minutes of class.

The work will be due the next class period unless instructed differently. Other late work will be worth up to 50% if we are still working in the chapter from which it was assigned. Late work will have no value if it is turned in after we have left the chapter. If you have 3 or more missing assignments you will be issued homework detention on a scheduled day.
