Period 1: English 4 Standard Grading Period 1.2
Mrs. Krueger August 31 – September 4
This is a tentative assignment sheet—meaning that changes will sometimes be necessary. If changes are necessary, we will make them together during class. That is one of many reasons you should always retain each quarter’s assignment sheets behind the ASSIGNMENT tab in your binder. All classwork and homework are subject to grading. If you are absent, you are responsible for picking up any missed work and making up any missed work within five class days; otherwise the assignment will not be accepted There will be a 10 point penalty per day. REMINDER: Tutoring on Thursday afternoons by appointment.
