Homework+Policy

Homework Policy[[image:boy_coloring.gif]]
There is a weekly homework board posted in my room. It looks like your agenda. Be responsible and copy your assignments into your agenda daily. You can do this throughout the day or take advantage of the time at the end of the day that is provided for this particular chore.

1. All homework is due by date specified.

2. If you are absent from school, you have 2 days to submit missed work. It is also your responsibility to check the homework folder on your desk for any work assigned while you were out of class and to secure any handouts during your absence.

3. I realize that on occassion families have obligations that interfere with sufficient time to complete homework. Please let me know if this happens and we can make arrangements for this situation.

4. If you know in advance of a time that you will not be in class, please let me know and I will give you your assignments so that you can complete them before your absence.

5. Homework is assigned for practice of skills that we have learned. It is necessary to complete all homework in a timely manner or the benefits will not be realized.

Parents: Your child has a Home-School connection by using their agenda. Your child was given the agenda the first day of school. I sign their agenda every day. I check that they have their homework listed for you to review. Realize that signing the agenda will only be beneficial if both home and school participate faithfully. Please help your child get into the routine of showing you their agenda daily. Please initial or sign that you have seen the agenda. I will encourage them to get it signed if I see that it has not been done for a few days. This habit will be very beneficial in the process of your child becoming organized.
