Homework is used to extend learning beyond the classroom. It provides
further practice of and reinforcement of skills learned in class.
• 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.
• 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.
• Homework assignments will be graded on occasions.
• Some weekend work, especially during short weeks and during New York
State Assessment prep work, will be assigned.
• Please check your child’s planner and homework daily. Planner sheets
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
a.m. Work will be sent to the office by 3 p.m.
* District policy doesn’t allow teachers to give students homework in
advance so they can complete it on vacation while school is in session.
Please keep a journal of trips; students will receive their work when they
return.
