Is homework assigned every night?

Homework is assigned Monday-Thursday.  We will do our best to 
complete as much as possible in class.  Any unfinished work 
should be completed at home.

How long should it take to complete Math HW?

As long as your student listens in class, asks questions when 
he/she does 
not understand, copies the examples in class, takes good notes, 
and uses 
class time wisely, the homework should not take any longer than 
20 minutes 
per night for the average student.

What Math materials should be taken home daily?

Students should bring their binders and Columbia Express 
(agenda)  home daily. Math workbooks should remain in locker 
unless noted other wise and the Math textbook is to remain at 
home at all times.

How is homework graded?

Mainly, I just check for effort.  But once every two weeks, 
homework is 
collected and taken as a HW quiz grade.

What is your no heading/no name policy?

Typically I will go through the assignments and identify the no 
name papers.  There is a penalty: 1/2 point deducted off the 
grade.  On HW assignments, if papers are not headed properly no 
credit will be given.

When can students come in for extra help?

Students can sign up for tutoring on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 
7:00 A.M. If additional assistance is needed, I will make 
arrangements to meet with him/her during connections and possibly 
after school.

Can my child do corrections on assignments?

Corrections can be done on tests that are not multiple choice, 
quizzes, and classwork assignments.  All corrections must have a 
parent signature, the corrections must be done on a separate 
sheet of paper (attach to the back of the original assignment) 
and turned in the following school day.
