Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
How often do students have homework?
Math- Homework is extra practice over what we have learned in class. The students will have time to begin the work in class, and are to finish at home. In addition to the days assignments, students always have the homework assignment of correcting previously graded assignments for more credit. Please ask to see your child's planner for the days lesson and due dates. Science- Most of our Science work will be done in class. It is still a good idea to ask to see what has been completed in their folders, and check their planner for the specific assignments and topics of study.** Students are to keep graded assignments until the end of midterms and quarters.Back to Top
How can my child raise his / her grade?
I do not offer extra credit work. Time really does not allow for extra assignments if they are correcting previous ones and completing a current nights. The one extra credit I offer is a weekly parent signature. I find when parents see what we are working on weekly, my students perform better and do not miss assignments. Another way to raise a grade is to correct the weeks previous assignments for more credit.Back to Top
There is homework help offered in our Library every Monday and Tuesday afterschool. I am available at lunch and during our Channel One time daily. I also have after school days for extra help, usually on Tuesdays and Fridays. I let the students know ahead of time as it varies with my own family's schedule.Back to Top
We have a study buddy system. Each child has a buddy to call for information, and that buddy also copies down and collects assignments for the absent student. When your child returns to school the missed assignments and work will be in my Make up work folder in the back of my room.Back to Top
