ATTENDANCE

In the event you are absent, you should check google classroom for any homework, news, or other information that may be given.

It is your responsibility to hand in any work 2 days after being absent.

HOMEWORK

Homework is each student’s responsibility. At Colonia Middle School completing homework is a priority. It is understood that the completion of homework teaches content and skills, as well as accountability and responsibility.

The purpose of homework is to:

1. Preview (Preparation): Providing opportunity to gain background information to be better prepared for future lessons.

2. Review (Practice): Help students to master specific knowledge and skills that have been presented in class.

3. Creative (Extension): Students use their unique talents and ideas to express themselves.

GRADING POLICY

All homework assignments given Monday through Thursday must be “turned in” (or marked as done) in the Google Classroom by 7:30 AM the following day. All assignments given on Friday must be submitted in the Google Classroom by 11:59 PM that day. Long term assignments may have different due dates and times.

● If an assignment is turned in one day late, the grade will be lowered 5 points

● If an assignment is turned in two days late, the grade will be lowered 10 points

● If an assignment is turned in three days late, the grade will be lowered 15 points

● If a student does not turn in the assignment after the third day, a zero (0) is posted in the grade book.

● Assignments will not be accepted after the three day grace period, resulting in a grade of zero.

Parents will be contacted after a child has missed three assignments. After a child has accumulated three zeros in one class, an intervention will be arranged by an administrator and/or guidance counselor.
