     Planners
Planners are to be filled in daily and will be checked on Friday’s during extended homeroom. Each student will be given an incentive sheet with 20 squares on it at the beginning of each six weeks.  This sheet will fill up according to how well the students have kept up with their assignments.  They will expire on the last day of the six weeks.  It can only replace an assignment already complete.  It does not exempt the student from any assignment.
