HOMEWORK- Each student starts the 9 weeks off with a
homework grade of 100 in each subject. Each time a student
turns in an assignment late, the homework grade will be
lowered by 5 points. Assignment will be excused with a note
from a parent.
LATE WORK- Students are required to turn in assignments on
time, every time. In the event that a student does not have
their assignment on time, 5 points will be taken off every day
until it is turned in. Students will need to turn the assignment in
to the "Late Work" file on the teacher’s desk.
ABSENT POLICY- When a student is absent they have
one day for every day they are gone to complete the
missed work. It is the student’s responsibility to ask the
teacher for the missed assignments. If a student
knows in advance he/she will be gone, she may ask
for the work in advance. If possible we will have the
work ready before the absence.
Bi-WEEKLY SPELLING TEST- we will take a
pretest on the spelling words of the week every
other Monday. If your child earns a 100% on the
pretest, they will not have to take the spelling test
on the following Friday and will earn a 100%.
The following are expected of 4th graders:
- Homework planner filled out completely every day
- Parent signature in homework planner every
evening
- All supplies, every day
- Papers organized in the correct folders/Pendaflex by
subject
- Follow all instructions at all times
- All assignments turned in on time
- Clean desks and lockers

If a student changes their color during the day, they will fill out a
sheet explaining what the infraction was and what they will do in
the future to correct the behavior.
The sheets will be filed in their student folder.
In addition to what students will be learning in their classes,
we will also focus on:
 Time management skills
 Study skills
 Organizational skills
 Independent learning
How you can help!
Please check and sign your child’s assignment spiral every night.
Help them keep their blue homework folder organized.
The blue homework folder should not be used to keep all papers in. Students are
encouraged to leave papers in the left side of folder at home and papers in the right side of
folder taken right back to school to be put in subject folder.
Check that your child has all necessary supplies (Sunday nights )
Encourage your child to read 1 AR book a week and take their quizzes.
Encourage your child to earn 1 Mathletics certificate (1000points)a week.
