Homework Policy
Students will receive homework every night but Fridays (unless a project is due or a test is scheduled for Monday -- this happens very rarely). A typical night of homework will include an assignment in spelling, math, and one other subject. Additionally, I ask that students read at least 15 minutes per night. This is a great opportunity for them to read books that count toward their Reading Counts goals. Students should read books they enjoy. The more they enjoy what they are reading, the more they will read, and the more they read, the better at it they'll become.
Daily homework is due the day after it is assigned (unless otherwise specified). Homework can be turned in one day late for a reduced grade. After that it will be a zero. (Even though it will be a zero I still expect it to be completed) Of course, students absent due to illness will be given the necessary time to make up missed assignments.
All work must also contain the students name, homework title, date and student number. The title of the assignment goes on the first line of the paper (for example -- Math p.105 #'s 1-20).
Students will be required to copy down the daily schedule from the board and place it in their planner on the correct day. They should show you their planner each day and have you sign that you have seen it. Every Friday I do send home a Late/Incomplete Homework Notice with students who fail to turn in, or turn in late, at least one homework assignment during that week. The late/incomplete assignment(s) will be listed, and I ask that parents sign the form and return it to school on Monday. It is my goal that this process will help keep parents updated and build student responsibility at the same time.
