Course Work Expectations

Purpose: Assignments are important practice opportunities to develop skills and knowledge related to learning goals.

Timeliness: Coursework should be turned in on the due date. Missing work must be completed. Opportunities will be provided so that students with missing work can complete the work in a timely manner (examples: homework lunch, lab, and after-school tutoring.

Homework Expectations:

Students are expected to complete class work on a daily basis. Class work not completed during the scheduled in-class work time will be homework. Students will be required to read for 20 minutes every night. Most of our assignments will be completed digitally on Google Drive. If your student has difficulty completing an assignment at home because of internet or technology issues, a note from a parent/guardian needs to be given to their Language Arts teacher explaining the situation.
