​​​​​Homework 

Homework is reinforcement, extension and/or preparation of materials covered in the classroom and allows the student an opportunity to work independently. As reinforcement, assignments should cover skills previously taught and which are understood by the majority of the class. As extension, long-term projects, such as compositions, book reports, research projects and oral presentations may be assigned. 

• ​Students may gather or prepare materials needed for class projects. 
• Homework is generally assigned Monday through Thursday.  Longer term projects may require work to becompleted over the weekend. 
• Any homework missed for an excused absence will not affect the student's grade. 
• Any unexcused absence may affect the student's grade. Homework or schoolwork missed through absence should be completed and turned in to the teacher within one day of the absence to receive credit. 
• In grades 6-8, i​f students have 3 missing homework assignments and they don't complete them by the end of the week, they will be asked to stay for detention the following Monday from 3-4 p.m. to make up all assignments. This may affect their Work Habits or academic grade. It is the students' responsibility to turn in work to the appropriate teacher to receive partial credit before the end of the week. ​ 
• ​​If 5 assignments are missing or late in a trimester students will not be eligible for Honor Roll.

​Parents will be notified if a student misses 3 homework assignments in a particular subject. It is the responsibility of the parents to make sure their child completes all homework assignments.
