Let's dispell any misinformation you may have received. There is ALWAYS
some type of homework. It may be reading, studying for a test or quiz,
working on a writing draft, or written work. But the phrase, "I don't have
any homework" is seldom accurate.
West Wilson Middle School Homework Policy
A parent may request work after a student has been absent two days--this
includes leaving early on the first day absent. A parent must request
missed work by 9:00 on the third day if they want to pick it up that day.
They will be able to pick up the work between 2:30 and 3:00. Parents
calling after 9:00 will have to wait until the next day, between 2:30 and
3:00. Using this teacher web is an excellent source as well as contacting
another student in the missed classes.
DRP Week Three--all five parts are completed using the DRP color-coded
handouts.

Reading Check Deadlines--Students are assigned three novels each nine
weeks. Some reading time is provided every day, but students may find it
necessary to read independently outside of school.
First Reading Check--Thursday, September 4, 2008
Second Reading Check--Thursday, September 18, 2008
Third Reading Check--Thursday, October 2, 2008
******All reading checks (AR tests) must be taken on or before Thursday,
October 2nd. Please note--students who choose to omit the independent
reading are not referred for intersession. They will receive an incomplete
(I) until the reading requirement is met.
Students who want to read a more challenging book must contract with me
BEFORE they read that book. I will give them their deadline at that time.
See FAQ regarding a more challenging book.
Students who choose to write book reports as a form of reading assessment
must obtain the book report packet from me, and I must document their intent
to do so. Book reports are only valid for single reading checks and are due
by the reading check deadline as established for students. Books must also
be shown to the teacher when the book report is submitted.
**Please see the pink student handout for full details.
