 How can I find out if my student is writing down their homework?
  The best way to verify students are actually copying their assignments 
is to ask to see their planner.  In my class there is something written on 
the homework board almost daily.

 Is there a way to find out if my student is turning in work?
  If you can not be certain you student is turning in work,  you may e-mail 
me with your concern. It is much easier for me to respond to e-mails.

 What do I do if my student doesn't know what his homework is?
  My suggestion would be to have you student call someone else in 
his/her class for the information. It is the student's responsibility to 
copy there work from the homework board each Monday- or the first day of 
class each week.
his assignments off the board.

 How does my student find out what he/she has missed during an absence?
  I keep an assignment binder in my room. This contains both the daily 
homework assignment and the agenda. It is usually noted if there have 
been any handouts that day as well.  The students are aware that it is 
their responsibility to find out what they have missed and complete the 
work within one week.

 What is the late work policy in eighth grade Language Arts
*First Semester only late work will be accepted according to the following 
guidelines:
   Work turned in:
      one day late =  maximum of 70% of the original graded 
         ( A paper that would have received a grade of 100, had it been    
turned in on time, will receive a grade of 70.)
      two days late = 50 % of the original grade
      three days late = zero
Second Semester:
  Work will be accepted one day late, after that students will be issued a 
detention to make up work.
