Planners Each day your child must have their planners filled in with the correct homework assignments. I expect each student to go over assignments with their parent(s)/guardian(s) each night. The planner is an excellent tool to help students’ organization and a way for the teacher to communicate with parents on a daily basis. I will do random planner checks to see if a child is ensuring to fill out their assignments.

Homework and Assignments If homework is not completed, students will receive a mark on their chart. If it is math, they will also lose 5 points from their original 50. If an assignment, such as a project is not completed on time, students will lose 1 point every day the assignment is late. However, after five days, the student will receive a “0” on the project.

Quizzes and Tests Quizzes Tests Announced a few days before they will be given, or pop quizzes Given on concepts taught Tests Given at the end of a unit. Review time will be set aside prior to a test
