Assignments/Homework
Qtr. 2 Wk 1 - 3 day week -- No Homework
Starting next week, Wk 2 of Qtr. 2 we will return to our regular homework plan. Please look in your student's binder, they have an updated spelling homework grid. Student's will also be assigned 15 questions in math and 15 in reading. Spelling homework and Study Island are both due on Friday morning at 8:00 a.m. They are still encouraged to read nightly.
FOR THIS WEEK...
* Friday Folder. Please be sure to remove papers from this folder and sign the white sheet. This weeks spelling words and homework requirements are in a sheet protector, in your child's binder, and are for the entire 2nd quarter.
Homework Policy
Homework is an important part of the learning process. It allows for necessary practice of skills, as well as teaching responsibility and time management. Homework responsibility grades will be reflected in the student behavior and study skills portions of the report card.
Students will not be penalized in content areas for incorrect answers on homework. Homework is monitored. It is assessed using a 1 - 4 scale as follows:
4 - outstan ding (0-3 missing days).
3 - satisfactory (4-6 missing days)
2 - needs improvement (7-9 missing days)
1 - significantly far below grade level expectations (10+ missing days of homework),
Although it is not given an academic letter grade, it can affect whether a child receives Honor Roll or Principal's Award. As per school policy, students who receive a 2 or 1 on their report card in any area are not eligible for either award.
If your child is struggling with certain assignments and still doesn't understand after general guidance from you, please let me know. I would rather receive a paper that is incomplete or wrong but has a note attached from a parent, than one that has been given assistance on every problem. This allows for a more accurate assessment of strengths and weaknesses.
