Homework Policy

Homework Policy.
Your child will have homework in all subject areas this year and will be responsible for handing in assignments on time as well as studying for tests. A homework notebook will come home each night. Any assignment your child has will be written in the notebook. He/she is the to bring the notebook and completed work in it, back to school the next day.

The children will be given one “grace” day to allow for family situations that may arise. If not completed the second day, they will remain after school to complete it. This is a big responsibility and I will be teaching them ways to learn these important study skills. Please remind your child of the importance of this responsibility.

Weekly rubrics will be used this year. The purpose of these rubrics is twofold: first to have your child take responsibility for his/her own learning and reflect on that learning; secondly, to keep an open weekly communication with you, their parents. Rubrics will go home on Monday for the previous week.

Please sign the rubric and have your child return it the next

These are homework excuses I've already heard over the years, so I'm afraid they will not work.

Our puppy toilet trained on it.

Some aliens from outer space borrowed it so they could study how the human brain worked.

I put it in a safe, but lost the combination.

I loaned it to a friend, but he suddenly moved away.

Our furnace stopped working and we had to burn it to stop ourselves from freezing.

I left it in my shirt and my mother put it in the washing machine.

I didn't do it because I didn't want to add to your already heavy workload.

My little sister ate it.
