Homework

Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday with the exception of completing long-term assignments. Daily homework is due at the beginning of the next school day for K-6 students and at the beginning of each class period for 7th and 8th grade students. Weekly homework packets cannot be used.


Daily Homework Guidelines

The average daily guidelines for homework are:

  • K - 2nd Grade: 15-30 minutes per day

  • 3rd - 5th Grade: 30-50 minutes per day

  • 6th - 8th Grade: 60-80 minutes per day

Grade Level Late Policy

Late Policy

Students have one day to turn in any late work after its due date. The student will get an automatic 50% if the assignment is completed with best effort and submitted more than one day late. Late work has to pertain to the same quarter.


Retakes

If a student receives a “D” or “F” on any test, they will be allowed to take a retest if they have documentation of additional practice of tutoring or support. Re-test no later than two weeks from the original assessment or no later than the end of the quarter. Grades reflected in the gradebook are the best of all attempts.


Work Missing Due to Absence

When a student is absent, classwork will be provided upon his/her return and the student will be provided one day for each day missed to make up any missed work, not including long-term assignments. For absences exceeding three days, parents may request classwork at the time the call is made to report the child’s absence. Please allow teachers 24 hours to compile necessary materials and assignments. The classwork can be picked-up in the school office after 3:00 p.m. the following day.


Long-term Assignments (assigned more than one week in advance)

Examples of long-term assignments include, but are not limited to, book reports, poems/recitations, science projects, research papers, and current events. Failure to turn in a long-term assignment by the due date shall result in a failing grade (59%) for students at all grade levels. A zero will be given if a student does not turn the long term assignment in by the end of the quarter.
