The purpose of homework and claswork is to reinforce material already taught, apply what has been learned, or preview what is to come.  It is also a way to cultivate responsibility and independence in work and study habits.  The following guidelines apply.

• Written assignments are limited to days on which school is in session unless the assignment is for make-up work or a long-range project.

• Homework/classwork must be submited on time, neat, legible and complete. It must be free of tears, spills, etc.,

• Homework/classwork will not be given as a punishment.

• Exceptions/adjustments for homework/classwork are made to accommodate students'/family's learning styles and circumstances. A written request from the parent/guardian must be approved by the teacher prior to due date.
