Fall of 2011

Homework Policy

CP Biology

Missing assignments are unacceptable at BHSN. Students will forfeit their “student tutorial” time to be assigned to a specific location for the completion of their missing work. Repeat offenders will be assigned to a “homework make-up detention” that goes from 3 – 4:30, at which time bus service will be offered. Please complete your work on time. Thanks!
