Homework Policies/ Grading
- Policies/ Nightly Homework
- Homework is marked with a star in students' planners.
- Independently read: 20 minutes each night.
- Please sign your child's planner to indicate that your child is reading.
- Math homework is always due the next day, unless indicated otherwise.
- Math homework should take no more than 30 minutes.
- Homework is to reinforce concepts and foster accountability and responsibility; it should not be difficult and frustrating.
- If your child is spending more that 30 minutes on math homework, please write me a note at the top of the paper, and I will work with them in the morning one-on-one, for full credit.
- Unfinished work: If students are not completing work during school, it will be sent home as homework.
- Grading
- Check: Full credit.
- INC. (Incomplete): Partial credit, dependent on how much was completed.
- Late: For each day late, score drops by 10%, never dropping below 60%.
- Accuracy
- While I check students' homework for correctness, I do not mark them down if they gave their full effort and arrived at the wrong answer. I will, however, address this misconception one-on-one, as necessary.
- Make Up/ Absences
- Students will be given a fair and appropriate amount of time to complete any work and/ or homework they missed.
Homework:
- Read 20 minutes
Reminders:
- No School Monday
- Ice Cream Social and General PTA Meeting: Tonight at 6:30 in the Cafeteria.
- World's Finest Chocolate (PTA): There are still plenty of boxes of World's Finest Chocolates left. Please sign out a box and help your PTA earn money for your school. Each box contains 60 items ($60). Money will be due 2 weeks after you check out candy. Sign out sheets are available in the lobby on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings between 8:30-9:00 AM, or you can see Donna or Cara in the office for a box. Main Office: 410-612-1560
