                          _______________________

Daily assignments are posted on our classroom calendar and 
students are required to write these assignments in to their agenda. 

Class assignments that are not completed in class will become homework.
•	Homework is due the next morning at 8:00 a.m.
•	Late homework is not accepted.
•	If a student is absent, they have one day to turn in missed 
        assignments.
Most assignment with a grade lower than a C- may be completed again as a "re-
do" and may receive an updated grade to a C-. "Re-do" assignments are due on 
Monday following the assignment's original date.

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.   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. 

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.

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 student 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.  

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