Homework Policy

• Homework is an important part of what we do in school each day, providing reinforcement of concepts and feedback for the teacher.

• Homework is expected to be completed and turned in on time.

• If homework is not completed and turned in on time:

Consequences:• Student receives a “Homework Alert” and

misses recess for that day (if given after that day’s recess is over, then the following day’s recess is missed)

• Student fills out name, date, subject, and missed assignment(s) on “Homework Alert”

• Assignment is attached to “Homework Alert” and it is to be taken home and returned the next school day

• Both the assignment and the “Homework Alert” are to be returned the next school day and the “Homework Alert” is to be signed by a parent or guardian

• One detention point is earned for the following:– Homework is not returned– “Homework Alert” is not returned– “Homework Alert” is returned, but not signed

OR is signed by an unauthorized person
