Homework will be assigned by
Ms. Smith on a weekly basis. It is the student’s
responsibility to complete, and return this work in a timely manner.
Assignments are due to be turned in each Friday
prior to the ringing of the bell, unless you were/are absent, or
Mrs. Smith tells you otherwise. When homework is assigned, it should
be placed in your backpack immediately. Homework and classroom
assignments will be checked
off daily, to ensure student completion. Consequences will be as follows:
**Consequences for not returning work:
Daily: Students will not receive a grade for the
assignment, and will receive a zero until it is turned in, they will
lose a portion of their recess for the day, and a note WILL be sent home to parents regarding the missing work. The
note
will be
expected at school the next day, signed by a parent. Students
will fill out a Missing Assignment Card for missing assignments.
These cards will be kept on file in the classroom. Students are
issued punch-cards upon the first missing assignment occurrence. For
EACH missing assignment (homework and school work), students will
receive a punch on the card. After 10 punches, students will be
referred to Mr. Durham.
PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT STUDENT GRADES WILL SUFFER IF WORK IS NOT
RETURNED! LATE WORK WILL BE ACCEPTED WITH A DEDUCTION OF 10 POINTS.
PAPERS WITH NO NAMES WILL RECEIVE A DEDUCTION OF 5 POINTS FOR EACH
OFFENSE. MAKE-UP WORK IS EXPECTED TO BE RETURNED IN A TIMELY
MANNER. IT WILL BE COUNTED AS ZEROS IF IT IS NOT COMPLETED AND
TURNED IN WITH ACCORDANCE TO DISTRICT POLICY.
Rewards for turning in work in a timely
manner:
* Positive self-image * Full
Recess Time (unless docked for behavior) * Being
smarter! * No danger of being sent to the office for missing
work. * Reward punch-cards!! (For each DAY that you
return ALL of your assignments, you get a punch on the card. When
you have 10 punches, it turns into a 1/2 homework pass, so that you
can do only half of an assignment (I get to choose which half.)
* STAR awards * Extra recesses * In-class
rewards * Positive notes/phone calls/emails home!!!
