Homework Policy
- It
is the student’s responsibility to complete homework.
- I
take my time to carefully grade and monitor student learning and therefore
expect students to take the time to claim their hared work.
Homework should be legible and labeled with name, date and
assignment. Students may be
asked to redo assignments that are nameless or without the assignment.
- Students
will be assigned homework Monday through Friday.
I expect all homework to be turned in on time (the next day, unless
otherwise specified in the Homework Journal).
I will accept work that is one day late for 50% of the credit.
After that, I will not accept work.
No excuses. Homework/Classwork
that is not completed will be averaged as a zero.
Even one zero can drastically lower a grade.
The lowest homework grade for each subject will be dropped from the
final average to allow for emergency situations.
- Students
are required to read for 30 minutes each evening for homework.
Please provide a quiet, uninterrupted time for nightly reading.
A parent/guardian signature is required in the Homework Journal for
credit.
- Students
will write their homework assignments in their homework journal every day in
class. Please check it nightly
to make sure your child has completed all assignments.
- In
the event of an absence, students are responsible for completing the missed
homework. They may copy the
assignment from another student in the class into their homework journal and
any handouts will be placed in the student’s cubby.
Participation
Students will receive a participation
grade that constitutes 10% of their final grade.
In order to receive full participation for the grading period, students
must exhibit the following behavior:
ü

Homework Journal
Each student will receive a 1-subject
spiral notebook that is to be with them at all times (home and school).
This notebook will hold each student’s daily homework, as well as any
special announcements. The homework
journal does require a parent signature every evening.
It is the students’ responsibility to keep up with their
homework journals.
Grade Update
Students begin receiving grades for the
first time this year. Each student
will receive a report card every nine weeks.
On this report card will be grades in the following subject areas:
