Is homework assigned every night?
You can expect your student to have homework every night except for Friday
nights, uncless necessary.
--------------------------------------
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.
--------------------------------------
How far in advance will tests be announced?
Tests will be announced at least 5 days in advance.
--------------------------------------
What Math materials should be taken home daily?
Students should take both binders home, math workbooks and textbooks are to
remain at home, and the Columbia Express (agenda) should all be taken home
daily.
--------------------------------------
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 points 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.
--------------------------------------
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.
