REMEMBER: Spelling homework due on Wednesdays/Tests on Fridays.
If you earn less than 80% on a writing piece, you may revise and turn back in for additional credit. It is due no later than one week after it is returned to you. Also, remember that when you are absent, see me right away. I will put an M = missing in the grade as a friendly reminder to make it up! This is what your grade will be if you don't make it up so don't panic--make it up!
