The student must assume responsibility for his/her own learning, completing assignments in a timely manner.

Homework will be assigned regularly in the academic areas Consideration will be given to the student's ability, achievement level, grade level, experience and the nature of the class. Homework assignments will be considered in determining student grades. |
