Homework+Guidelines

•Students need to label thier papers. In the upper right-hand corner of the paper, must be the following:

First and Last Name Date Class and Grade Assignment

•Homework is to be done by the student only. Parents/friends can assist a student by explaining the question or process needed, but may not tell the student the answer. Students shouldn't need help. Homework is to practice the skills that they have learned. If the student doesn't know how to do the assignment, let the teacher know.

•Spelling homework is to be written in cursive, not printed. Students need to practice the skill of writing. If the assignment is printed the student may have to redo the assignment.

•Answers should be written in complete sentences for most assignments.

•Calculators may not be used for Math homework, and students need to show all of their work.

•Edges are to be cut or torn off papers to be handed in.

•If the assignment is completed in a way that is illegible, including bad handwritting, torn paper, and spills, the student will have to redo the assignment for credit.

•Homework must be completed on time. Students that were absent for more than one day will have as many school days that they missed to get the assignment done.

•If a student fails to complete an assignment on time, a note will be made in the assignment notebook that the assignment was late or missing. If the assignment is late for a number of days, the student may need to stay in the room at recess working on the assignment.

•Making corrections on assignments is always encouraged to learn from the mistakes that were made, and it may be manditory in some cases to earn credit. However, students need to learn to perform at thier best the first time.

•Extra-credit options will be given equally to everyone.
