Homework Completion:

  • Students will record their homework in their student planners each day.
  • Homework needs to be completed before the school day begins on the morning it is due.
  • Homework will be graded on 2 scales: pass/fail or whether it was completed and turned in on time or not, and how adequately it was completed.
  • If your child is awarded a poor grade on homework and would either like to redo it or has been asked to redo the assignment, I ask that it is turned in within the next 2 days.
  • A combination of homework, class work, projects, and tests will account for the final grade in each subject.
