Assignments given are due the next day unless otherwise stated. Any
incomplete classwork becomes homework for that evening. If your child seems
to have an inordinate amount of homework, it should be a signal to you that
he/she had an off-task school day. Homework should not take more than about
one hour. Not completing and turning in homework assignments WILL affect
Honor Roll. If a child receives an "N" in either Work/Study Habits or
Behavior, he/she is no longer eligible for the Honor Roll. Please note the
criteria that will be used. Missing 0 - 2 assignments = O (Outstanding),
Missing 3 - 4 assignments= S ( Satisfactory), Missing 5 or more assignments =
N (Needs Improvement), Poor handwriting is exempt from not receiving an Honor
Roll status. All students should be reading for at least 30 minutes each
night. A reading log will be sent home shortly to document this. I am
requiring 18 books to be read this year-- one book every 2 weeks. Please
check the calendar on my web page for dates and in your child's planner. All
dates have been written in on the due dates.
