Home-Learning Policy
It is the student’s responsibility to copy HW in their agendas.
Home-learning is checked daily and GRADED periodically.
Home-learning must be completed entirely, neatly, and in pencil in your child’s own handwriting in order to receive full credit.
If a student is absent, they are still responsible for completing the homework for that day the best they can and bringing it the following day when they return to class.
Home-learning MUST be done completely; meaning nothing is to be left blank. If the student does not understand something, they must show that they at least tried by not leaving anything blank, otherwise the homework is incomplete.
4th missed or incomplete HW assignment will result in a
morning DETENTION and a lower conduct grade
Special projects will be assigned periodically throughout
the year.
