Why homework is assigned
Homework is a valuable aid in helping students make
the most of their school experience. It
reinforces what was taught in class, prepares
students for upcoming materials, teaches
responsibility, and develops positive study habits.
What type of homework and when will it be assigned
Homework will be assigned most nights Monday through
Thursday. Assignments should take no longer
than thirty minutes to complete. In math,
homework will mostly consist of practice exercises
from the math text book. In English, word study
homework will be given Tuesday through Thursday.
Long term math
projects will be given each marking period. In English a minimum of one major piece of writing will
be published each marking period.
Student homework responsibility
I expect students to do their best job on their
homework. I expect students to work on their
own and ask for help only after they have given
their best effort.
Teacher homework responsibility
I will check and go over all homework. I will
recognize students when they do their homework and
offer incentives to help foster positive study
habits.
Parent homework responsibility
Parents are key for making homework a positive
experience for their children. I ask that
parents make homework a priority and provide a quiet
homework environment. Please set up a daily
homework time and provide praise and support.
Always feel free to contact me if you have any
questions and concerns.
Consequences for incomplete homework
Homework assignments can be checked each night by
using the homework hotline. Late homework will
be given partial credit. Students will be
given a zero on homework not turned in. Please
send me a note or email if there is a legitimate
reason homework can not be completed.
