Homework

 
Homework is given Monday through Thursday as a reinforcement of concepts 
learned in class or an extension of class work. This homework is usually due 
the day after it is assigned, unless otherwise specified.  Students received 
Chittick Agenda Notebooks on the first day of school and will be responsible 
for copying homework assignments and reminders off the board everyday.  We 
will give students time during the day to copy assignments. 
It is important that your child complete's his/her homework each night 
because most assignments will be reviwed the next day in class. If homework 
is not turned in:

         1. For each assignment missed, students will fill out a chart that 
lists the assignment that he/she owes, reasons why it is incomplete, and the 
date it was completed and handed in.  This chart will be kept in the front 
of each child's Agenda Books and parents are asked to sign it as the end of 
each month.
         2. After 3 missing assignments, students will begin to lose in-
school privileges and their grade for that subject will begin to be 
effected.  The students will also stay in for recess and complete their 
assignments. 
        3.  For continuous missed assignments, a phone call will be made 
home so that we can reach a solution to the problem as a team while the 
student completes each missed assignment during recess. 

     Of course, I understand when there are unexpected circumstances that 
come up.  If a student is unable to complete a homework assignment, please 
attach a brief explanation to the homework.  Most importantly, please let me 
know if your child is struggling with the homework.  With home and school 
working together, your child's academic skills will flourish.
