HOMEWORK
POLICY
We at
Homework is either preparation or reinforcement of a
lesson. To that end, homework is used in class on
its due day as part of the lesson. Therefore, with
the exception of absence, homework is either completed on time,
or does not receive credit.
ABSENCE
Short term
– 1or 2 days Homework
is due the day after child returns to school.
Long term
– over 2 days Make
up will be at the discretion of the teacher, but will be within a reasonable
time.
Absence (not due to family vacation)
on the
day a project is due Project
is DUE THE DAY THE CHILD RETURNS TO SCHOOL.
Missed
tests and quizzes All
tests and quizzes need to be made up within one week of student’s return
to school.
Please
note that vacations when school is in session are not encouraged. On
the occasions
when this is unavoidable, please note class work must
be requested
at least one week in advance. The work will be given
ON
THE LAST
DAY THE STUDENT IS IN SCHOOL before the vacation.
This work
is due THE DAY the student returns to school. Any PROJECTS assigned that
are due during the vacation are DUE BEFORE THE CHILD LEAVES.
OTHER
NOTES
It is the
student’s responsibility to collect missing assignments.
All students
must at least attempt to complete homework; if there is no attempt, it counts
as
not doing
homework. “I didn’t understand” is NOT an excuse for
not
attempting homework.
Children
are not allowed to call home for a homework assignment or project.
Homework
needs to arrive in class WITH the student. Homework
left in lockers is not acceptable.
Parent notes explaining why homework is not done are helpful to us, but will not excuse the child from the assignment.
