Homework:
25-30 minutes of homework each night between classes
No homework on Fridays! However, I strongly encourage students to practice math over the weekend!
If your child is spending more than an hour on homework, please do not hesitate to discuss this with me so that we can work together to look further into the matter!
Math Homework Policy:
All students will be given a homework grade and start with 100%. Each missed assignment or Quick Check assignment with a score that is less than 60% will cause a 2 point deduction in the homework grade.
Math Grading Policy:
There will be online tests after each topic, the first Practice Buddy assignment of each week will be graded, and there will still be a Homework grade (see policy above). If a child earns less than a 70% on the online test they will be given a chance to take it again. The highest score that can go on PowerSchool for a second test is 70%.
70% - Assessments (i.e., tests, quizzes, projects, etc.)
30% - HW/CW (Classwork)
Science Homework Policy:
Approximately one unannounced assignment will be graded per week (I want the students to treat each assignment as if it’s being graded). All assignments require complete sentences with details and the question restated in the answer. Also, online tests will be given when chapters are completed.
For tests, study guide will be sent out on Google Classroom approximately one week before the test and is posted on the bottom of the main page of my website. Tests will not be “open notes” so students can not go back and look at old assignments during the test.
