General notes about homework


Students will have homework almost every night. 

Students are expected to bring written homework to class. 

Parents should not bring homework to school if students forget it; this perpetuates student irresponsibility.

Parents are encouraged to oversee, but not over edit student work.  Students learn more by completing work themselves and taking full responsibility for their efforts.

Homework should be done neatly, carefully, and with maximum effort. 

Homework that is completed at home should be kept in the appropriate section of the student's home folder.

Collection of homework during class



Students should check that their homework has proper assignment details and identification (following the header format.)

Students should remove homework from their folder and place it on their desk.  The homework manager will collect it - no talking will occur during this process.

Students should wait until the student designated to collect homework picks this up from them during class.  (All students will have an opportunity to perform this task.) Homework collection will be verified by Mrs. Snyder.

Student homework will be graded and returned in a timely fashion. 

Explanations for failure to turn in homework when due are not required.  Students may turn in homework the following day, but will receive a reduced number of points.
