Memory Work for Marking Period 1

Three [3] credits are required.       Due date ___________________________

Memory work may be done at any time beginning right now. It is due on the due date. Do not wait until the last minute. If you are absent, your memory work is not in. You should not ask to give memory work late. Should you be hospitalized the last 2 weeks before memory work is due, you call me or get you parents to call and I will come and take your memory work where you are.

You are always expected to get to the end of a sentence. Should the line requirement not do that, be certain you check with me.
