 Homework Expectations

Middle School Assignment Expectations - In School

“Homework” means anything that is to be completed outside of the classroom. This can include notecards, notes, projects, reports, etc.  This procedure is in effect for the 2022-2023 school year.

ONE ZERO CAN BE DEVASTATING TO A GRADE. Late or missing work also impedes the teacher from grading and returning work to the rest of the class.  We all want students to have assignments when they are due.

The procedure is as follows:

        All homework assignments are due at the beginning of class

10% each school day for large projects - teachers will make students aware which projects this applies to

Please note that teachers use symbols and comments in PowerSchool to mark if an assignment is late or missing and whether or not it is still eligible for credit.

The absent student policy will remain: A student will have as many days as they were absent to turn in assignments without being penalized. Students will have to schedule a time with their teachers to take a missed test during this time as well. Any time after this, the new homework procedure will take effect for late assignments.

We thank you for your constant support and contribution to your child's education,

PLANNED ABSENCES:

If you are aware your student will be absent, especially if it is for a whole day, it is in their best interest to have them tell teachers ahead of time and get assignments ahead of time.  Seventh grade can have on-going projects or in-class group work and one day out that is planned can affect your students input to the process.  Ultimately, unexcused days out (especially full days) should be avoided if at all possible, as suggested in the Parent/Student Handbook (p.6).   Also, alerting the homeroom teacher ahead of time so we can remind your student to touch base with teachers ahead of time is strongly suggested.   Thank you for your cooperation with this.
