• Homework is not only a requirement by the teacher, it is also part of their grade. Points are given per assignment per teacher. These points go towards their homework grade.
• Policy – Certain assignments such as graded pages, sentences, and writing can be turned in late. A point will be lost for each day late. Assignments that we go over in class such as workbook pages and worksheets can not be turned in late. Three times each in spelling can not be turned in late.
• All missed homework when the students are absent becomes their responsibility to make up. number of days absent = number of days to make it up.
