 * If there is a 0 recorded in Skyward for any assignment, that assignment is late or has not been turned in for credit.**

Use of online or software translation services to complete writing assignments (unless specified by the teacher) is considered cheating. Translators will translate phrases word by word which generally creates an illogical sentence. Students should attempt to simplify sentences and use previously learned vocabulary to complete assignments.
