ANNOUNCEMENT!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Homework is an important part of the learning process. It allows for necessary practice of skills, as well as teaching responsibility and time management. Homework responsibility grades will be reflected in the student behavior and completes assignments portions of the report card.
Students will not be penalized in content areas for incorrect answers on homework. Homework is monitored and, as stated above, will be reflected on the report card. It is assessed using N - needs improvement, S - satisfactory, and O - outstanding.
If your child is struggling with certain assignments and still doesn't understand after general guidance from you, please let me know. I would rather receive a paper that is incomplete or wrong but has a note attached from a parent, than one that has been given assistance on every problem. This allows for a more accurate assessment of strengths and weaknesses.
