procedures:
September 8, 2008
Dear Parents and Guardians:
Hello; my name is Mrs. Vicki Wilkins and I would like to take this
opportunity to introduce myself as your child’s math teacher as well as
familiarize you with some classroom routines. First, your child will be
given homework Monday through Thursday to be completed at home and handed in
to me the next day. Grading is as follows: a check plus is equivalent to
an A, a check is equivalent to a B, a check minus to a C and no homework is
a 0. You do not need to supervise homework as your child should be able to
complete it by him/herself. If your child has difficulty completing
homework, a quick note by you explaining the difficulty will be accepted and
your child will have the opportunity to review it with the class the next
school day. Homework should be reinforcing the concepts learned in class;
not long and tedious.
Second, homework will only be accepted up to 2 days late;
consequently, each day a letter grade is deducted. After 3 days it will be
counted as a 0.
Last, grading for your child includes homework, class work, quizzes
and participation/cooperation. Such consideration gives your child a more
accurate and well-rounded grade in the subject.
If you have any questions, please call Chittick School at (732)
613.6830 or e-mail me at: vwilkins@ebnet.org. You can also check my

Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Vicki Wilkins
