Students are expected to record assignments as I announce them verbally before leaving class each day. As a way that students and parents can verify assignments and due dates, I will also post them here. Turquoise document titles are links to assignments. All homework is due on the following school day unless it is specifically stated to be due at another time. No late work is accepted by the Skyline humanities department. For your social studies assignments, visit www.mrdoran.net daily.
