Clean‐up,
Dismissal
•  Students
are
given
the
opportunity
and
informa)on
to
complete
planners
in
each
class.
•  At
the
end
of
the
day,
they
are
responsible
for
checking
their
planners
and
making
sure
that
they
have
everything
that
they
will
need
to
complete
the
assigned
homework.
•  Students
are
reminded
of
points
lost
and
are
responsible
for
documen)ng,
in
their
planner,
what
“level”
they
were
on
for
that
day.
•  Ul)mately,
planners
are
the
students’
responsibility.
Homework
•  Each
night,
students
should
expect
to
have
up
to
an
hour
of
homework
to
complete.
This
is
assigned
at
an
independent
level
and
shouldn’t
require
much
of
your
support.
If
your
child
has
a
lot
of
trouble
on
an
assignment,
please
write
us
a
note
so
that
we
can
review
the
skill
with
the
student.
•  If
your
child
is
consistently
requiring
more
than
an
hour,
please
contact
us.
•  Extra‐curricular
ac)vi)es,
clubs,
and
athle)cs
need
to
be
scheduled
with
the
understanding
that
students
are
expected
to
complete
their
homework
each
night.
•  If
there
are
(very
occasionally)
extenua)ng
circumstances
that
prevent
your
child
from
comple)ng
his/her
homework,
please
write
us
a
note.
Differen)a)on
•  We
believe
that
all
students
can
and
must
learn
at
high
levels
of
achievement,
however
not
always
in
the
same
way
or
at
the
same
pace.
•  As
a
way
of
mee)ng
the
needs
of
all
students,
many
tasks
and
assignments
throughout
all
subject
areas
will
differ
from
student
to
student.
•  If
a
student
doesn’t
write
down
their
assignment,
calling
a
friend
isn’t
always
accurate
as
your
child’s
assignment
may
be
different.
