The sixth grade staff views homework as an opportunity to develop individual responsibility and organization. This we believe to be an integral life skill.
Therefore,
A.) Homework should be:
1.) a priority and a habit
2.) an appropriate extension of classroom activities
3.) an integral part of student and teacher accountability
4.) an example of students desire to produce high quality work
B.) Assignments should be:
1.) turned in on time
2.) neat
3.) complete (including first/last name; period; date; teacher's initial)
4.) easily assissible
HOMEWORK GUIDELINES
-Only assignments turned in on time will be accepted for credit. Work left in another classroom, at home or turned in after it was collected in class will not be accepted for credit. It is the students responsibility to listen carefully and turn work in immediately when the teacher has indicated that it is time to do so.
-Assignments are required to have students' full names (first and last) on them to receive credit for the work done. Students need to take the time to make sure they've written their name on each assignment.
-Two "OOPS!" slips will be provided to each student each term for unexpected setbacks which preclude the timely disposition of a homework assignment. An "OOPS!" slip completely replaces the assignment, but cannot be used for long term projects.
ABSENCES:
-Absent students will need to complete the work missed. This will not be considered late and in most cases should be turned in within the same number of days that the student was absent.
-Upon returning from an absence the student should ask the teacher(s) these "3 Essential Questions":
1.) What did I miss?
2.) What do I need to do?
3.) When do I need to have it done?
