Homework
Students will be given daily homework assignments. The homework will be posted on the board every morning. Students are expected to write down their homework in their assignment pad during their first period block.
Homework and completed class work will be sent home in a “Take Home Folder”. On the inside, the folder will be labeled KEEP (left side) and RETURN (right side). All homework and notices that need to be signed or completed immediately will be placed on the RETURN side. Please make sure to empty the KEEP side each night and check your child’s planner!

Homework Policy
Students are expected to complete their homework the day it is assigned and return it to school the following day. The policy for homework that is as follows:
1 Day Late
If a student’s homework assignment is not handed in on the day it is due, there will be a 5 point deduction in the HW grade and a “Missed Homework Assignment” Slip will be sent home.
2 Days Late
If a student’s homework assignment is not handed in the next day after it is missed, there will be an additional 10 point deduction in the HW grade and another “Missed Homework Assignment” Slip will be sent home along with an email from myself.
3 Days Late
If a student’s homework assignment is not handed in by the third fay, the HW grade will become a zero and a disciplinary consequence, at the teacher’s discretion, will result.
*Consequences can include recess detention, loss of classroom privileges, etc. A pattern of missed homework may result in a disciplinary referral to the Principal. Further consequences will be determined by the principal.
*Please send in a note or email regarding missed homework for an excuse. This will not count against the student.
