Class Work and Homework

All class work assigned should be done to the best of your ability.  Any 
class work not completed in class must be finished as part of your 
homework.  Daily assignments are always due by class time the next day.  
Students who use class time wisely should have very little homework from 
daily assignments.

You will have some form of homework each night,in most subjects, and 
sometimes on the weekends.  Each quarter, every student begins with a 
homework grade of 100%.  
Each time the homework is not completed and/or ready to present to the 
teacher, five points will be deducted from the homework grade.
Remember that homework is important and MUST be completed each day!  
Consistent failure to complete your homework will affect your quarterly 
grades.

You are at an age when you should be learning how to do your 
homework independently.  You should get in the habit of studying and 
reviewing nightly. This practice will help you tremendously when it is test 
time. Don’t wait until the last minute to study!!

Homework will be updated on this website each day.  Homework assignments will 
be written on the board each morning.  It is your job to write it down every 
day.  Sometimes homework will change and I will not have the opportunity 
the change it on the website.  What is written on the board IS the 
correct homework, so always copy your assignments into your assignment book 
and don’t depend on the website as the end all to your homework 
needs.  But DO check the website each day for special and important 
announcements and reminders.

Remember that homework is important and MUST be completed each day!  
Consistent failure to complete your homework will affect your quarterly 
grades.

Absences

When you are absent, I will write down any assignments you missed, collect 
your books, and send them to the office.  It will be your responsibility to 
keep up with the work, make up any tests, and turn in any missed work.  Any 
work not completed that is counted for a grade will be given the grade of a
0.  Zeros bring down grade averages quite quickly.  Be sure all your work is 
completed and turned in so you don’t receive any.  Make-up tests must be 
taken the day you return to school unless there is a prolonged absence due 
to illness.

Classroom Expectations:

The SCR Student Handbook states the school's expectations for all students.  
Listed below are the classroom expectations for all students.

All students are expected to follow basic, simple rules:
1. Respect yourself.
2. Respect others.
3. Respect property.

This means that students should follow directions the first time they are 
given, behave cordially with all students and adults, and come prepared for 
class every day.

Students who struggle with these rules will face the following consequences:
1. Verbal warning
2. Entry into the behavior log with 1 point deducted from the conduct grade
3. Written punishwork that must be signed by a parent and 3 points deducted 
from the conduct grade
4. Conduct notice/detention issued and 5 points deducted from the conduct 
grade.

Each child will begin with an A+,100,in conduct for each subject. Points 
will be deducted for students who do not follow the rules and policies, or 
show inappropriate behavior. Points deducted cannot be regained.

Homework Policy:

All students begin each quarter with a grade of 100% in homework.  Each time 
an assignment is not completed, the student will lose 5 points from that 
homework grade.  Partial credit will only be given if a student completes at 
least half of an assignment.

information that you will need plus daily homework will be posted on this

Save this link to your desktop as you will be checking it daily.

Grades

You are expected to always do your best.  Daily work, homework, quizzes, 
tests, class participation, and cooperation are all grade-worthy.
Everything is important. Grades will be accessible on line.
Grading Policy:  
                 Tests/Projects     50% of quarterly grade
                 Homework/Quizzes   25% of quarterly grade
                 Quarterly Exam     25% of quarterly grade

Please refer to the SCR Student Handbook for promotion/retention policies.

Binder

Your binder is extremely important. Since we do not use notebooks, your 
binder contains everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) you need for class, 
homework, and tests. At the end of each quarter, I will inform you when to 
clean out your binder so you can start fresh for the new quarter.
Make sure that you use your binder correctly. Do not shove important loose 
papers in your books or school bag. Keeping yourself organized will help you 
achieve better grades. 
Fifth grade is a transition year to junior high. The expectations are 
different than they were in the lower grades. I want you to be prepared for 
what is to come in your future.

Conferences

If your parents would like to meet and have a conference, please have them 
call school and leave a message or they may use my email address to get in 
touch with me.

Together we can make 5th grade the best year yet!!!
