From the Desks of Mrs. Serpiello and Mrs. Teague Homework Policy Due to the fact that homework gets reviewed in school the next day, it is important that students complete their homework every night.  Therefore, incomplete homework is a 50% and failure to complete homework at all is a 0%. 3 missed assignments—phone call made home No homework given on Friday unless work is needed to be made up or large projects are assigned. * Assignment Books signed by a parent every night checked each morning by teacher Home Folders emptied each night Major Tests signed and returned the next day
