Homework Policy
While your child is in fifth grade, they will be expected to complete homework assignments on time. Homework assignments will include, but are not limited to:
word study/grammar assignments, math practice problems, science assignments, social studies assignments, and projects. Students can expect to spend between 15 and 30 minutes on homework each night. Students are also expected to read for 20-25 minutes each night their self-selected novel or reading in content areas. I will expect that ALL assignments assigned will be turned in on time! There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy!
Policy
1. All assignments are to be turned in on the due date
2. If assignment(s) is/are not turned in on the due date, the student will have one (1) day to turn the work in. They will receive 10% (one letter grade) off on late assignments. They will miss recess and/or PE to work on late work.
3.If the late assignment is not turned in the following day (1 day late), the student has until the following Monday to turn in all missing work. At this time, the student will receive 20% (two letter grades) off on the late assignment
4.If the late assignment is not turned in by the following Monday, the assignment receives a zero (0), and the student will not be given another opportunity to turn in the missing assignment
5 .If your child is sick, they will have the same number of days to make-up their work that they were sick (example: 2 days sick = 2 days to make-up work). If the work is not turned in after that time period, the homework policy goes into effect.
Thank you for doing your part in making sure your child has a quiet place to read and study at home.
