HOMEWORK POLICY:<o:p></o:p>
Homework gives students the opportunity to practice skills taught during the school day. Students will have social studies work (study vocabulary, take notes, or answer questions, etc.) Monday –Thursday. Specific language arts assignments will be given at least two of the four nights. Some long-term projects will be assigned, giving students the opportunity to practice managing their time and setting short-term goals. In addition, students are expected to read and accumulate points from AR books. The point totals are on my AR Requirements page. Students may want to read 15-20 minutes nightly to accomplish this goal.
<o:p> </o:p>
If a student is absent, he/she is expected to check the class planner for required work. The class planner contains any required assignments and type of notes provided that day. The class planner should be checked after any absence.
<o:p> </o:p>
Doing homework on a regular basis can improve a student’s grade as well as help him/her master skills and understand concepts. Students begin each quarter with 100 points in each subject. Three points are subtracted for the first late assignment. Five points are subtracted for all other late assignments. Deficiencies are given after the fourth late assignment.  Students begin over each quarter. When an assignment is late, one point will be taken from the 8th grade student’s point sheet.<o:p></o:p>
