Homework is used to extend learning beyond the classroom. It provides
further practice of and reinforcement of skills learned in class.
– Homework is usually given Monday through Thursday. Some weekend work will
be required, especially during short weeks, preparation for the NYS
Assessments and special projects.
– Homework is checked in each day. A check sheet is used to track completed
homework. Homework completed and handed in on time receives a 2; homework
handed in one day late receives a 1; incomplete homework handed in on time
receives a 1; homework handed in two days late or not at all receives a 0.
- Assignments may be graded on occasion.
- Students are expected to complete all homework. If students do not
complete their homework, they will be expected to complete the assignment
during school time, including part of their recess time if needed.
– Students are expected to read for 20 minutes each night. Reading Logs will
be checked each week.
– Assignments must be written into student planner each day. Planner must be
signed by parents each night.
Absentee procedure for missed work:
- Homework Buddy: Provide the name of another child in the school who
can bring homework home.
- Phone: If work is to be picked up, contact the main office before 11

* District policy doesn’t allow teachers to give students homework in
advance so they can complete it on vacation while school is in session.

return.
