Homework and planner policy Usually there will be 40-60 minutes of homework per night. If students do not finish class work, it is to be taken home and finished for homework and handed in the following morning. There will be a language arts, math practice, and social studies/science assignment assigned for homework. If a homework assignment is missed, a "missing assignment slip" will be sent home to notify the parent and must be signed and turned in the next day attached to the assignment. As recess time is limited and filled with distractions, it is not conducive to have students make up missed homework during this time unless absolutely necessary. Missed homework will be recorded by the teacher and those students who have missed homework will be ineligible for a "reward" that will be determined by the teacher. These "rewards" happen approximately every other week. For example, students might have a reward recess, an opportunity to play academic games on the computer or in the classroom, or free choice time. Planners need to be signed as part of homework by an adult who supervises homework on a nightly basis. This is to help parents understand what is going on in the class and to make sure the students are completing the homework. I will be signing planners for the 1st and 2nd quarters. I check to make sure that students have the proper materials at their desk to be pack up for the day. For the 3rd and 4th quarters, I will no longer monitor planners unless I feel a student need extra help. Weekly papers will be sent home on Fridays and need to be reviewed by parents and signed and returned on Monday. Papers with grades on them will be included in these papers so students and parents can monitor quarterly progress.
