8. What happens if I catch someone cheating?
All the people involved will earn a ZERO on the assignment, will CALL HOME and inform their PARENTS, and may be referred to the office. It is ok to look up in EXASPERATION or look down in DESPERATION but DO NOT look side to side for INSPIRATION! In other words, it is NOT ok to give or receive ANSWERS!
9. What happens if you forget an assignment at home, leave it in your locker, or just don’t have it at all?
I will earn a ZERO on that assignment.
10. How can you earn credit for late work?
I can serve 30-minute DETENTION to earn FULL credit for a late assignment. I must bring something to work on during the detention – either the assignment that is DUE, other ASSIGNMENTS, or a BOOK to read.
11. How long do you have to make up work missed while you were absent.
I will have THREE days for each day I was absent to make up I was assigned while I was gone. Any work that was due the day I was absent is due when I RETURN TO CLASS!

12. When should you see Mrs. Davis Miller for extra help?
I should ask questions during CLASS when we have time to work on assignments or make arrangements to come in Mrs. Miller’s PLANNING or AFTER SCHOOL. I should not wait until an assignment is DUE to ask for help.
13. What do you need to do to use a pass?
I need to ask Mrs. Miller for PERMISSION to use a pass to visit the office, go to the restroom, or go to the water fountain. Passes to my LOCKER, other teachers’ CLASSROOMS, or to my CAR are not allowed during class time.
