Homework and Assignment Submission Policy
Homework and Assignment Submission Policy
Homework is an important part of the learning process and is assigned to reinforce classroom instruction, develop independent learning skills, and prepare students for future lessons and assessments.
Homework Expectations
Homework Expectations

Complete assignments thoughtfully and to the best of their ability.

Quality Matters
Quality Matters
Homework should demonstrate genuine effort and understanding. Completing an assignment simply to receive credit is not the goal. Students should use homework as an opportunity to practice skills, strengthen their understanding, and prepare for success in class. Homework not completed to the expected standards will not be counted as completed.
Late Work
Late Work
I understand that unexpected circumstances can happen. Students who are unable to complete an assignment on time should communicate with me as soon as possible.
Ten (10) points are taken off each day assigned work is missing unexcused. Students are responsible for completing missed work and checking for any changes to upcoming assignments or deadlines.
Homework assignments are expected on the due date. A student may show their homework the following day after it was due for a 50% score. After 2 days, I do not accept late homework.
Missing Work
Missing Work
A missing assignment is the student's responsibility to address. Students should check the class website and/or Google Classroom to identify missing work and communicate with me if they need clarification or support.
Need Help?
Need Help?
Students are encouraged to ask for help before an assignment becomes overwhelming. Asking questions, attending extra help, and communicating with the teacher are all important parts of being a successful and responsible learner.
