Come in and Do Bell work
Each day when you come into class there will be bell work waiting on your desk. Please begin this work immediately when you come in. This will be due 5 minutes after the bell rings for class to begin and is a graded assignment. During the Bell work time, the attendance will be taken. Students will receive a tardy if they are later than the bell.
