Homework
Homework contributes toward building responsibility, self-discipline, and lifelong learning habits. For these reasons, the 6th grade team believes that homework is an essential part of every child's learning experience. Most students with failing grades are not adequately completing homework assignments and studying. Therefore, we recommend that all students schedule a regular routine for completing homework. On average, students should anticipate having 45-60 minutes of homework daily in their academic classes.
Responsibilities of Students:
Students should write down all homework assignments in assignment notebook (agenda) before leaving class. If no homework is assigned, students should write none. Students should take homework assignments home along with necessary materials. Be prepared to spend on average 45-60 minutes daily on homework assignments and studying. Ask your teacher for help when you don’t understand an assignment.
Responsibilities of Parents:
Check your child's assignment book daily and check to see that students are completing the assignments. Arrange a quiet time and study area including proper lighting. Help your child arrange his/her papers for return to school the next day. If your child is not doing work at home, contact his/her teachers to make sure that work is being completed.
Responsibilities of Teachers:
I will plan homework related to classroom objectives. State homework clearly in written and oral form. I will check and review homework assignments with students.
Make clear homework policies and expectations for all assignments. I will be available to help students that are having trouble with an assignment.
Homework - Late Policy:
1. Homework will be accepted late until the unit or test is completed. A minimum of ½ credit will be given for the assignment.
2. Long term projects will be accepted late at a maximum penalty of 10% off per day late.
Homework – Absent Policy:
In absences that are legal or school accepted, the student is expected to make up work in the time allotted which is equal to the number of days missed without consequence.
