Homework Policy

Sixth Grade Homework Policy

Homework is an extension of content learned in class, and is a valuable tool for practice, reinforcement of concepts, enrichment, and the development of effective and efficient time management and study skills.

Homework (including Accelerated Reading/JiJi/iReady) will average about forty to sixty minutes per night, which may vary depending upon an individual student’s study habits and use of class time.  Long-term projects may require additional time and occasional weekend work.

The following Homework Policy will be enforced in class:

• Homework is due the next day unless otherwise stated by the teacher.
• To earn full credit for an assignment, students must complete every assigned item and submit on time.
• Late assignments will be accepted for one week beyond the original due date with the opportunity to earn a maximum of 50% credit.
• Math homework must be completed in full each day to receive credit.

• All assignments must have the student’s full name, student number, and date.  Points may be deducted for missing student information.

• Absent students have two days to complete assignments from their absence.  Upon return from an absence, students are responsible for obtaining, completing, and submitting missing work within this time frame.
