Homework is an important part of the student's educational experience.
Assignments are expected to be neatly written and completed on time. Homework
assignments may include class projects, research projects, science projects,
technology projects, or preparation for a class test.
Assignments are given to reinforce skills taught in class, to foster habits
of independent study, and to meet growth needs of individual students.
It is our goal to help each child develop responsibility in completing
homework assignments. We believe that learning good homework habits will
benefit students as they progress in their academic education.
The following guidelines have been set to help us achieve this goal:
1. Each student is responsible for keeping his/her assignment notebook up to
date.
2. Late homework will be accepted the day after the due date for partial
credit.
3. Parents must read teacher notes concerning behavior or work and sign the
appropriate notices.
4. Parents are notified if a student misses homework assignments.
5. Students who are absent due to illness or family emergency are given a day
for each absence to make up work. Work missed due to Unexcused Absence may
not be made up.
6. Students absent three or more days for illness or family emergency are
given additional time to make up work. Arrangements must be made with the
teacher involved.
*When advanced notice is given for a long-term assignment, no excuse is
accepted for lateness. If you know in advance that you will not be present on
the due date, make plans to turn in the assignment in advance.
