HOMEWORK POLICY:
- All homework and projects are expected to be done on time unless you have a note from your parents explaining why it is not done.
- Assignments that are late will receive a late grade (L=50) in the grade book.
- Graded assignments will lose 5 points/half a letter grade per day they are late.
- Late assignments must be turned in within 5 school days for partial credit.
- Agendas - I am asking that we each initial the agendas every night. It is a
great organizational techniques for our students. Please feel free to write
me a note in the agenda if you have any questions.
I can guarantee...
1. there will be homework Monday - Thursday.
2. homework will be related to what we are doing in class.
3. daily homework will take no longer than 30-45 minutes.
4. homework will not be a struggle each night.
However, I expect homework to be completed in a "High Quality" manner. Students will be asked to redo, if it is handed in an unacceptable manner. This includes, poor quality work and ripped, dirty, or crumbled paper.
How can you get involved as a parent?
- Share any concerns you may have regarding the amount or type homework assigned with your child's teacher.
- Provide a suitable study area and the necessary tools (for example, paper and books) to complete the homework assignments.
- Limit after-school activities to allow time for both homework and family activities.
- Monitor television viewing and establish a specific homework time.
- Plan a homework schedule with your child. Allow for free time when assignments are completed.
- Praise your child's efforts. If questions arise about the assignments, and your child asks for help, ask him or her questions or work through an example rather than simply providing the answer.
- Younger children need more parental assistance with homework than older children. Go over homework assignments with your child. Do several problems or questions together, then observe your child doing the next one or two.
- Check completed assignments. Ask to look at homework once it has been marked and returned.
