Late Work Policy
Students shall be assessed a penalty of 10 points per day
for up to three days for work not turned in on time.
Extenuating circumstances will be given consideration,
and exceptions will require approval of the campus
principal or designee. Late work turned in after three
days will be assessed a maximum 30 point deduction. If
the work is not turned in before the last day of the sixweeks grading period, a grade of zero will be assigned.
An assignment is considered late if it is not turned in the
day after it is assigned. If an assignment is not turned in,
I will note it in their folder. Please check the students
planner AND folder everyday for homework
assignments. Every late homework assignment results in
a mark on conduct WSH #2, and students will be
required to complete the homework during study hall.
Absent Work
When you are absent, A While You Were Out form
will be placed on your desk. This form will have
written on it all the assignments missed from the day
of the absence. Also, any worksheet that was handed
out on the day you missed will be attached to the
While You Were Out form. This work will not be
counted late, so long as it is turned in on the make-up
due date. For every day that you are absent you have
that many days to complete the make-up work. If the
work is not turned in on the make-up day, it will be
treated as late work.
Homework
1. We will assign students minimal homework over concepts they
have already worked on in class. Students should feel a great
sense of success while doing their work at home because they
have shown success on similar problems/assignments in class.
2. The majority of homework will be assigned each Monday (for
Math/Science). There may be times when other work may be
assigned during the week. Reading homework will be to read
each evening (Mon-Thurs.) for 20 minutes. A Reading
calendar will be sent home for parents to initial that their
child did read. It must be initialed nightly.
3. Homework will not only be written on the board, but also in the
student planners and on our websites. Please check our
websites for additional resources regarding homework.
4. Your child will need to keep their daily homework, spelling list,
and reading calendar inside his/her team folder and return this to
class on a daily basis. We may be checking math homework
from the night before, or doing an activity with the last night’s
work, and your child will need to have it to be prepared for class.
Reading calendars will be checked daily also.
Birthday Celebrations
You are welcome to bring a store
purchased treat to pass out during the last
ten minutes of the school day.
