Below is the Kennedy Middle School Work Expectation. This is published in the information
for students packet that every student receives the beginning of the year and is thoroughly reviewed
in each of their classes.
Work Expectation:
* All school papers must be headed with the students name,
date and class in the upper right hand corner.
* Work must be handed in on time. Late work will usually
not be accepted unless arrangements are made with the teacher.
* Students are responsible for contacting teachers for
missed homework whenever they are absent from class for any reason.
Research shows that students who complete their math homework in a timely
manner, trying all the problems, reading the instructions, and showing their
work have a greater level of understanding and success in mathematics. It is
imperative that students complete their homework so as to give themselves
every advantage in the classroom and on state tests. The material we cover
in 7th & 8th grade is critical for their mathematical success in high school.
You will usually receive math assignments (homework) Monday through Thursday
nights. Generally, there is no homework on testing days or Fridays. You will need
to take your book home every night or access the math book online. Read the short
lesson before you start the homework. Homework is to be completed before
returning for the next class period. We will usually correct and review the homework
in class the next day.
ALL PROBLEMS NEED TO BE ATTEMPTED !!
YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK !!
Work must be handed in on time. Late work will not usually be accepted. You
are responsible for contacting me for missed work whenever you are absent
from class for any reason. Homework sent home for completion under the above

class because of illness OR preplanned absence OR has a PERMIT TO EXTEND
DEADLINE. Permits are issued to each student each semester, for throughout
