Redo Policy
Students are allowed to redo any assignment that received a 69% or less. The student’s paper will be re-graded and may receive up to 75%. Redo papers need to be turned in within a week of the paper being returned to the student. This only applies to daily assignments NOT tests or projects.
Late Work
Late work will be accepted; however students will only receive a maximum score of 60%. If a student is absent he/she will have two days for every day that he/she is absent to turn in any missing work.
Boomerang
Students will bring home a Boomerang every Friday. This is a folder with your student’s corrected work, spelling homework, Reading log, progress reports and other information.
Please review, sign folder, and have your child return it to school on Monday. This is a great time to help your child redo any assignment that was 69% or lower.

In closing, I firmly believe that communication between home and school is an extremely effective tool. Please feel free to call, text, send a note, or e-mail if you have any questions or concerns. There are no little questions or concerns. Please write your email address and phone numbers below and send it with your child this has been a very effective way for me to communicate with parents. I am looking forward to a fun and exciting year, and together as a team, your student will have a successful year.
Sincerely,
Dan Thomas
