NO NAME POLICY
In Ms. Morales' classes, if a no name paper is turned in, it will be hung on the no name wall. Students will be notified via a sticky note on their desk that I do not have their assignment. It is the student's responsibility to retrieve their paper from the no name wall, write their name on it, and turn it back onto Ms. Morales' desk. The St. Stephen's late work policy applies for no name papers in third grade -- each day the paper is late is minus 10% of the grade.
PARENT SIGNATURES
If a test comes home with a "please return to Ms. Morales" stamp, it is treated as homework. Tests must be signed by a guardian and returned the next school day. After I have seen a parent signature, I will highlight it and return the test home again.
HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is for reinforcement. Homework is rarely graded but still must be completed otherwise a homework slip will be sent home. An accumulation of slips will result in an in-school detention and effect the effort grade on the report card. If homework is not completed and receives a slip, it is due the next school day. ***This does not include asynchronous work days.
ABSENT WORK POLICY
Students who are absent will either be given absent work when they return to school or absent work will be sent home with a sibling upon request. All absent work must be returned to Ms. Morales by the date written on the absent sheet.
If absent on a Monday and student returns on Tuesday:
student was absent 1 day
student has 1 day to makeup work
student is giving the work on Tuesday
the work is due Wednesday
