Homework Policy & Bell Ringers

CHALLENGE THYSELF!!!

HOMEWORK POLICY:

All homework is due the following day. I expect students to write in their planners daily and to check my website for homework if you are absent, check in/out late, or simply forgot to write down your homework. Powerpoints are accessible through my website. No excuses for missing or late work!!

Missing assignments will receive a 0/F (without a valid written excuse). Partial credit MAY be given if work is made up within the same school day or in the morning (before school) if you are in 6th-8th periods.

If you are absent, homework is due the day you return to school. You are also responsible for checking the make-up folder for handouts, quizzes. and tests. Tests and quizzes must be taken on the day you return.

Please email me in advance of school-related absences (athletic games, competitions, field trips). You will complete work the day you return to school.

In the case of an extended illness (with an excuse), you will have up to 3 days to complete make-up work, assignments, and tests. Speak with your teachers to plan a make-up work schedule. Emails from students/parents/guardians are welcomed at ahawthorne@holysaviormenard.com.

**Parents, thank you in advance...We will strive together as a TEAM to mold these students into mature, independent writers and readers! With this in mind, only a student's original work will be accepted for a grade. Homework and writing assignments that do not follow the student's normal writing style and voice will be returned and will be expected to be rewritten during school time. Allowing your child to make his/her own mistakes will promote a strong writing atmosphere and cure him/her of any "writing fears". Thank you for challenging your child to be responsible, original, honest, and hard-working.

Mrs. Hawthorne
