Work Policies
Study Hall & Daily Work: During the school day, 5th graders have about an hour reserved for study hall and small groups. This leaves roughly 40 minutes each day for independent assignments. Most students are able to complete their in-class and weekly assignments during this time. The only work that will regularly need to be completed at home includes weekly ELA and math assignments, as well as any incomplete or missing classwork.
Note: Students should not need to spend more than one hour on homework per night. If your child is spending more time than this, please reach out to us.Redo Policy: Students are allowed to redo almost every assignment across all of our classes. Redos must be completed by the end of the current unit. Students should communicate directly with the teacher (in person or via email) to get a new copy or learn how to complete the redo. We strongly encourage students to redo assignments—it’s one of the best ways to learn from mistakes!
Fun Friday: Each Friday we will hold Fun Friday or Study Hall. To participate, students must have no missing assignments in any class, no office referrals, and no more than four Classroom Economy fines for the week. The tracking window runs from Monday to Friday at 10:00am. Students who do not qualify will attend study hall.
Academic Integrity: Students caught plagiarizing work from online resources will either be required to redo the assignment or will receive a zero. If students copy work from one another, both students will be required to redo the assignment or receive a zero.
