| Mr. Montano's Fifth Grade Homework Policy
My fifth grade policies and procedures for homework are aime at preparing
our students for the coming year and the change to middle school. I feel
that encouraging and requiring good organizational skills and holding the
students accountable for their work will instill in them valuable toodls for
middle school and for life. I require the students to use their agendas and
to have their agendas with them at home and at school. Ther homework agenda
becomes the main tool in keeping track of all assignments and requirements.
I ask that each parent help me to encourage the use of the agenda and take-
home folders and encourage good organizational skills.
Listed below are my homework requirements for fifth grade:
1. Homework for the upcoming week will be posted on the board every Monday
morning. STUDENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR COPYING THE HOMEWORK FOR THE ENTIRE
WEEK INTO THEIR AGENDA. This allows the students to work ahead if necessary
to alleviate homework requirements on evenings that they have sports or
other activities. PLEASE SIGN OFF ON YOUR CHILD'S AGENDA AS THEY FINISH
THEIR ASSIGNMENTS EACH WEEK.
2. Homework will be emailed to you each week.
3. Students who finish their class work may work on homework at school.
4. All homework must be turned in EVERY FRIDAY MORNING BEFORE THE DAY
BEGINS. Homework baskets are located by the door of the classroom and are
clearly labeled "HOMEWORK."
5. All homework must be labeled with the student's name, date, subject,
teacher, page numbers and problem numbers on the right top hand corner of
the first page.
6. Homework is checked for ACCURACY and QUALITY. Homework offenses will be
given for incomplete work of for work of poor quality/pride.
7. A student that does not turn in homework will receive one HOMEWORK
OFFENSE PER ASSIGNMENT. Failure to meet a due date on any work will result
in a DROP IN LETTER GRADE for that assignment...after 3 days it will be
scored as a zero!
8. Homework offenses are to be signed by th student and the parent and
returned to the teacher the following day.
9. Five or more homework offenses in a grading period will resullt in an
after school detention on Wednesdays. There will also be a scheduled
conference with the parents and student to discuss the situation.
10. If a student is absent due to illness or family emergencies, missed
assignements for that day may be picked up in the school office after 3:00
pm on the first day of the absence. STUDENTS SHOULD COMPLETE HOMEWORK AND
CLASS WORK AS ABLE. When an ill student returns to school, I will work with
him/her on make up dates for tests etc.,
11. If a student is absent because of a trip or family function, then
during that time they grade will be FROZEN (not affecting their grade) until
they return.
Thank You,
Mr. Montano
