HOMEWORK

The type and amount of homework varies according to the Grade Level and the nature of the subject.  In the lower grades homework usually consists of drills, word lists to study--an extension of the work  covered in school.  In the Upper Grades more detailed homework is required in the main subjects.  At all times, teachers try to give assignments that are meaningful, useful to the student and appropriate for all students.  PARENTS ARE ASKED TO COOPERATE WITH TEACHERS IN SEEING THAT HOMEWORK IS COMPLETED AND BROUGHT TO SCHOOL.

If homework is not turned in on the day it is due, the student receives a zero.  It is the responsibility of the child to do the work and turn it in irregardless of the zero.  It may be counted as 1/2 credit (teacher's discretion) depending on the assignment and the subject matter.

If a student is absent due to illness, assignments can be picked up at the end of the school day by calling the office before 10:00AM.

MAKE-UP WORK

If a student has been absent, any assignments which were assigned before his/her absence and were due during the absence are due the first day he/she is back.  Any assignments assigned during an absence will be given an extension in due date equal to the number of days missed.  This is calculated from the date on which the assignment had been given and will not exceed 5 days.

e.g.  Absent September 5-7.  Assignment given while absent on September 6 and is due on September 10.  New due date is September 12.
