All Summer Assignments are
due Friday, September 12, 2008 |
 |
|
| |
Students are
expected to complete all summer assignments.
Summer reading assignments are designed to
assist students in maintaining their skills
during the time away from the academic
setting. During the months of July and
August, students should work daily on
these assignments, therefore, not causing a
great deal of panic on Labor Day weekend.
All summer work will be collected on
Friday,
September 12, 2008. All
summer reading assignments will be graded
and calculated into the Reading and
English Language Arts grades for the
first marking period. Summer reading
assignments that are not completed will
receive a grade of zero. Late
assignments will be reduced by 5
points each day, and no assignments
will be accepted after Wednesday,
September 17th.
