A weighted system of quizzes, papers, tests and other assignments will be used. Class participation will also be a factor in a student’s grade.
Academic integrity is a fundamental characteristic of the behavior of Upper School students from Brunswick and Greenwich Academy. Students should review their respective handbooks to be completely clear of the expectations that are held for them.
Students will arrive in the classroom: on time, in the proper dress code, with the necessary materials and having completed any homework. If, in an unusual situation, a student has been unable to complete a homework assignment on time, they should see me before class begins.
