Mr. Kersey's Homework Page
Hello Students and Parents. This is where you will find homework and other assignment
information for my classes. Nothing fancy, just the facts. Please email me or come visit me if you have any
questions or concerns.
In most cases students have time to begin homework assignments in class.
In all my classes it is a standing assignment that students review their key terms, lecture notes,
reading notes, or homework questions for the current chapter for 10-15
minutes a day, Monday through Thursday, whenever another assignment has not been given.
For complete information on my classroom policies and procedures, please see my Classroom Handbook.
