General Homework Schedule: (the teacher holds the right to change schedule at any time) Math- Homework will be assigned Monday through Friday. Friday, Monday and Tuesday's homework will be due on Wednesday. Wednesday and Thursday's homework will be due on Friday. This schedule will provide students with time to complete online homework. Vocabulary for each unit will be recorded in their STEM notebooks and tested on every 2 to 3 weeks.

Homework continued.. Science- Each week we will cover two lessons. The reading and quizzes for these lessons are due every Monday. Vocabulary for each lesson will be recorded in their STEM notebooks and tested during Monday's quizzes. Anything in math or science that is started in class but not completed is to be taken home to finish as homework and brought back the next day.

Tests and Assessments MAP’s and STAR Science quizzes can be taken twice All curriculum tests can not be taken twice, however intervention lessons or study guides are assigned and make up half of their testing grades.
