Homework Expectations
Students will have homework most evenings. Homework is not collected until the end of the week, even those completed in class. Students will have a homework folder to keep assignments that need to be turned. This folder is also used to send home graded work and information to the parents from the office and community and is kept in their binder with their agenda. When you are checking the agenda for homework, make sure that homework is complete in the homework folder, ready to come back to school.
Math: students will have math to complete almost every night. The page is divided into four columns, Monday - Thursday. Time will be given most days to complete the column in class. If the daily column is not complete, they are encouraged to complete it at home. I understand that families are busy with church and sport activities as well. So, if there is a conflict, students will still have till Friday to have the page completed. However, they are asked to submit each column daily digitally as part of their morning work. This enables me to meet with small group and reteach skills they might not understand fully. This also allows them to see where they are making their mistakes in a more timely manner.
Science: students will be completing an outlined study guide over material that was covered in class. Generally most answers can be found within the pages of the textbook. Students usually have some time to work on these study guides in class either independently or with their team.
** If homework, class, or elearning assignments are not completed in a timely manner, the student will be sent to detention during recess to complete the assignment.
