Due to recent changes in legislation, I will also be implementing a refusal to complete work form this year. This will be sent home ONLY with students who have refused, either passively or outright, to complete graded work assignments. Students will be asked to reflect on why the assignment was not completed, and then on what they can do to improve their performance on future assignments. My hope is that together, we can better prevent low academic progress and grade averages by ensuring that graded work is taken seriously by students. Due to removal of the grading floor, students will receive a zero on all assignments not submitted due to refusal to work. In the event that this form comes home with your child, please read over the form with them, sign and return the form to school the next day. I will give students another opportunity to complete the incomplete assignment at that time.

Homework and Makeup Work

Homework will come home daily on an as needed basis. Students may also be asked to complete work that was not finished in class at home for homework to be returned the following day.

As unit tests approach, I will send home a study guide the week before that students can work on. Again if these are returned signed and complete then students will earn 10 extra points on their unit test.

Makeup work is only required for graded assignments and will be given to students to work on upon their return to school. Students work on makeup work during morning work time, or during free moments in the day.

Any students who wish to retake a test or quiz may do so one time. Please reach out if you would like your child to retake a test or quiz due to scoring below 80%.

For any further questions about homework or homework policies, please refer to this year's student handbook. (pictured below)

Behavior Expectations and Communication

How does our classroom work?

I use a system of behavior credits and debits. Students accrue behavior credits by doing things like completing and returning homework, keeeping a organized area, and showing PRIDE Expectations. (our school expectations)

Behavior debits are accrued by negative actions throughout the school day. Based on the number of behavior debits, students will be required to have structured recess for the amount of minutes they gain over the course of the day. Students will also be asked to complete a behavior reflection form should behavior debits result in structured recess time. These reflections will come home with the student and should be returned signed the following day. You will see an example of this form below.

This is an example of the reflection sheet students will complete when they need to think about how they can change their behavior to better impact their success.

Once recieved in the blue communication folder, which should be checked daily, please sign and return to school the following day!
