        assignments.

Homework Policy:
__________________________

We do our best to get students to see school as their “job”.  Thus, they are 
expected to work hard when they are here.  The first couple of weeks are the 
hardest-please be patient.  We won’t assign “homework” just for the sake of 
them to have something to do at home.  Rather, we assign work in class each 
day.  Most likely, students will have a little bit of several assignments to 
finish up at home. (as time goes on-they will learn to manage time better 
and have less work at home.)

Our expectation is that your child will complete their work each day (either 
at school or home) and then you will spot-check that all assignments are 
completed and located in their proper place in the binder.  If you are 
wondering what the assignments are- simply look on the calendar and note 
that all assignments are written on the day they are due- a check is next to 
completed work and the assignments are ALWAYS in their binder directly 
behind the tab with that subject label.

We will then go over the work in class, and students may ask questions 
during this time.  Please note that during class time, there are many 
opportunities for clarification and further explanation.  We are also 
available during recess & lunch nearly everyday.  Therefore, your child 
should not need you to instruct him/her at home.

THE SINGLE BEST WAY FOR YOU TO HELP YOUR CHILD THIS YEAR IS TO DIRECT THEM 
TO THE TEACHERS WHEN THEY DON’T UNDERSTAND SOMETHING.

If they come home and say they don’t know how to do something…..please- ask 
them if they asked their teacher for clarification earlier that day.  We 
must help students to help themselves prior to beginning jr. high.  Teachers 
are always the best resource for the assignments that they give.  After all- 
if you don’t understand something your boss needs done- chances are someone 
at your house doesn’t really know either.

We follow the district and grade level guidelines regarding 
homework.  Homework is an important piece to your child’s learning and it 
enables parents to be an active participant in their child’s learning.  
Homework will always supplement and reinforce the objectives of the lessons 
taught during the day or the week.  Homework will be assigned nightly and/or 
over several days within a week.  Homework will include ON AVERAGE 30 
minutes per night of reading, and 45-60 minutes of subject work.  No late 
homework will be accepted. 
	Students will have ongoing projects at all times.  These are 
assignments that students should be working on at home and in the 
classroom.  Be sure to keep an eye on your child’s project section and their 
agenda for current assignments.  Any project that is late goes down one 
letter grade for each day it is late.  
	If a child is absent on the day a project is due, the project must 
be turned in the morning of the first day the student returns to school.  
Even better, if a parent, sibling, or friend can deliver the project to 
school the day it is due, we will greatly appreciate it.  
	Our expectation is that your child will complete their homework at 
home and then you will spot-check it, or correct it, and review the 
information.  We will then go over the work in class, and students may ask 
questions during this time.  If a homework assignment or problem flusters 
you or your child, please encourage your child to ask us for help. During 
class time, there are many opportunities for clarification and further 
explanation.  We are also available during recess & lunch nearly everyday.
	If your child is absent when homework is assigned; they have 1 day 
for each day they were absent to make up the work they have missed.  All 
work from class as well as homework will be placed in a folder as well as a 
complete list of assignments to be completed.  It is the student’s 
responsibility to meet with us to grade these assignments.

The teacher or parent can request conferences on a personal basis.  
Conferences will not be scheduled to begin after 3:30 P.M.
