Homework Policy
Homework is due each morning after it is assigned unless other directions have been given by the teacher. Each teacher has a designated area in the classroom to collect homework. Homework that is not completed or turned in on time will be assessed a "Late" penalty. The grade on a late assignment will be reduced by 20%. The grade on homework that is turned in by 8:30am the day "after" it is due will be reduced by 30%. Any homework turned in after 8:30am on the day following the due date (2nd day late), will be assessed as a zero.
If students have a late or missing assignment, they will be receive a "Homework Missing/Not Done" slip for every assignment that is late. If a student receives 3 or more slips in one week, he/she will be assigned an after school detention. It is extremely important that the signed slip is returned with the homework assignment!!
Because this is a new policy to 4th grade students, we will not begin issuing detentions until the 2nd quarter. We will be sending home the slips in the 1st quarter so that you are aware of the late assignments.
(The "Homework Policy" is also outlined on page 24 of the student handbook.)
