Homework Policy
Homework
is intended to reinforce and extend basic instruction. Family
participation and discussion is encouraged. Assignments will also
help develop good personal study habits and may include occasional
special projects. Assignments and the time required for completion
may vary according to teacher requirements and student ability.
Homework is assigned regularly, and it may be anticipated that
students at the middle school will have four to nine hours of
homework each week.
You
are expected to:
- Listen
carefully to all directions about assignments.
- Ask
questions if the assignment is not clear.
- Keep
a record of assignments.
- Have
a definite time and place for study, free from interruptions and
supplied with working materials.
- Utilize
study skills in preparation of assignments. Turn in assignments
when they are due.
- Make
use of such aids as a dictionary, libraries, maps, and general
reference materials. Consult with people who are authorities or are
experienced in various fields.
- Organize
and prepare homework assignments that meet standards of
expectation.
- Take
the initiative to make up work missed due to an absence.
- Study
independently unless a group projects has been assigned.
- Discuss
homework assignments with parents.
- Complete
and return all homework assignments.
- Produce
a high quality of work incorporating the highest level of accuracy
and neatness of which they are capable.
- Develop
good study habits and a sense of responsibility for their own
achievement.
- Make
up all missed assignments (when allowed) and return them to the
teacher as directed.
Your
parents are expected to:
- Provide
conditions at home conducive to study — the needed space,
materials, and quiet time.
- Encourage
completion of all homework assignments.
- Assist
teachers in developing student initiative and
responsibility.
Make-up
Work
When
you are absent for one or two days, you are to contact your teachers
upon returning to school. Make-up assignments may be requested for
absences of more than two days. Additional make-up work assignments
will not be given until the prior assignments are submitted.
