Homework Policy

v  All Homework will be due the following school day unless specified in a “Letter to the Parents.”

Ø  This will usually be a project that requires research or parent involvement.

v  Homework that is not turned in on time (upon arrival to class) will result in a letter grade reduction for each day it is late

Ø  i.e. An “A” paper turned in one day late becomes a “B” paper, after two days it’s a “C”

Ø  I will not accept anything that is one week late

I am a firm believer that “practice makes perfect.” The more we practice: in class and at home, the better we become. Homework is also a way for me to see where each student needs extra help or which concepts we need to spend more time on. Homework and in class work will be a large portion of the grade.

Make—Up Work

v  What constitutes make- up work

Ø  Make-up work is work missed due to an excused absence.

§  This might include illness, doctor appointment, or a family function.

§  I will expect a note from the parents or the doctor for me to consider them excused.

§  I cannot give them the lesson they missed, so it will be the student’s responsibility to read any chapters we covered in their absence.

v  All students will have the same amount of time to finish assignments.

Ø  This includes class discussions

§  i.e. if we spend two days discussing, then one day on our assignment your child will have three days total.

I have read the above policy explaining the homework and make-up work and I fully understand it. I agree to adhere to these stipulations and if there are any questions I will contact the teacher and/or administration.
