Late Work Policy/Homework Policy
Homework is expected to be turned in on the day it is due. Missing homework assignments will result in a conduct mark (more information about the conduct calendar and behavior plan system will be sent home on August 22, 2011). Homework assignments are a completion grade so everyday an assignment is late students will be penalized a letter grade. If an assignment is late, the grading will be as follows.
1 day late = 90% point
2 days late = 80%points
3 days late = -10 points
The student will receive a grade of ZERO until the assignment is turned in. After the student has not turned in an assignment after 3 days, the assignment will remain a ZERO and the grade will not be changed. All assignments done at home are required to be done in the student’s handwriting. Someone may help the child with the homework and it needs to be the student’s work. It is imperative that the student completes their own assignment for successful learning. No exceptions.
Attendance/Make-up Work
All students are required to follow the school’s policy regarding attendance which is found in the Student Handbook. Students with excused absences will have the same amount of time to complete assignments as the students who are in class. Worksheets can be picked up when the student returns to school. If a student will be out for an extended period of time, you may request for work to be sent home. Students with unexcused absences will have their work counted as late.
Tutoring
Tutoring is offered upon teacher recommendation.
Discipline
The third graders will follow the school policy for DPS (Discipline Point System) as stated in the student handbook. The students can also be rewarded with PRS (Positive Reward System) points to gain things such as field trips, free dress days, and classroom parties. More information will arrive on August 22, 2011.
