Homework Policy  Assigned daily, except Fridays.  Homework is written in planners daily.  Timely homework is rewarded with good grades, account money, and table points.  Students who don’t bring their homework, spend last recess doing it.  Homework passes are good for 1 assignment, NOT the entire night’s homework.

Grading Practices  Work completed and returned on time will be graded with the typical percentage scale on an “A” through “F” basis. Work turned in late MAY be marked down.  Missing work may be made up. These assignments will be noted in weekly accounts and/or progress reports.  Reading Log and Test grades are final as noted and will not be changed.  Some assignments are simply given full or partial credit based on completion.
