Homework is the responsibility of the child and, therefore,
should be turned in on the day it is due. Students are responsible for
handing in assignments that are neat, accurate, and on time. Partial credit
will be given for any late work received no later than two days after the due
date. All students have received a student planner and will be given
additional time, at day’s end, to write down their homework for that day. If
your child is absent, he/she will need to check the class assignment notebook
on the day he/she returns to school. The class assignment notebook is kept on
the table by the window so, on any given day, a student can copy down
assignments that he or she has missed due to an absence. A homework survey
will be sent home once per quarter. This survey will assist me in evaluating
and adjusting, as necessary, student workload. Please feel free to check our
class website to find a daily posting of assigned homework and this homework
policy.
Absences: If your child is absent, he/she will be given 2 extra days to
complete assignments. In the case of a prolonged absence, you or your child
may conference with me concerning the time needed to finish any make-up work.
