Grading/Homework Policy
Expect your student to have homework every night and occasionally over the weekends. There may be exceptions, but the homework should not take over one hour to accomplish. Click on the following link to see the homework assignments and other scheduled events:
We also encourage students to read 20 minutes a night.
Students are expected to turn in all homework on time. Students will receive 2 homework passes per quarter that will allow them to “be human.” Passes will not transfer to the next quarter. If a student has a missed assignment, the pass will be sent home to inform parents about the missed assignment. The pass will have to be signed and returned. When a student uses both passes, we will contact parents to inform them that their child no longer has any homework passes. Any assignments that are not turned in on time after the student uses the passes will go in the grade book as a zero. At the end of the quarter, if the students have not used their passes, they can turn them in and will be in the 100% club.
If a student misses school, they will have one day for every day absent, starting the day after their return, to make up the work.
Planners
I expect daily planners to be filled out every day with the assignments of the day. I generally do not check planners to ensure the students are keeping up with this very important personal responsibility.
Report Cards
A report card is not a judgment of your child's worth as an individual. It does not measure the delight he or she gives, the humor in those young eyes, or the hope for tomorrow. It measures only one aspect of a young life with so much untried potential. After only a few years of life we cannot judge their lives to be successes nor failures at anything. Please look at your child's report card with love and acceptance of how things are right now. Give it only the importance of the moment - notice and point out the good and positive, emphasize what your child is doing right and build on that to improve what needs improving. Young developing egos are fragile - handle with care and nourish all that your child is and can be.
