Homework is a vital part of a child's education reinforcing concepts learned at school. Please make sure your child has a quiet, well lit place to do his/her homework and a regular time each day for study. The sixth grade homework policy is as follows: Students who fail to turn in homework on the due date will be assigned a zerothat day. However,if the completed homework assignment is turned in the next day, the grade will be the earned grade less 20 points. If the student makes no attempt to complete the late assignment, the student will keep the zero. All sixth grade students are required to keep an assignment book with daily homework assignments copied from the board. Parents can check on homework assignments and test grades daily and need to sign their child's assignment book over the weekend.
