1. Homework Policy 2014-2015 Mr. Burzinski, Miss Cannella, Mrs. Gallo & Mr. Schmidt Name Date Section Subject Assignment • All homework should be completed and handed in for full credit on the date due. Assignments are worth a set amount of points. Assignments handed in the following day will be given half credit. Anything after that will remain a zero. • Full credit is given when an assignment is done in its entirety. Math work is shown, comprehension questions are written in complete sentences, etc. • All homework should have a proper heading. An example of a proper heading is as follows: • Take pride in your work. There should be no doodles, drawings, etc. Assignments can be typed. If not, handwriting should be in cursive or neat print. Written HW should be done in PENCIL for Math. It may be done in PENCIL, BLUE PEN, or BLACK PEN only for all other subjects! • If you are absent from school, homework should be completed in one additional day’s time. Exceptions are made for extended periods of absence. Therefore, if you are absent from school, do not request HW. Review the web site and do what you can. If you cannot complete HW, the extension rule is in effect • HW, tests, and long term due dates will be posted: • Science Assignments Page • Social Studies Calendar Page • Language Arts Calendar Page • Math Calendar Page • Please review this daily for grade 8 assignments. • Additionally, Social Studies & Science HW will also be posted on a unit by unit syllabus format. This will help keep students organized. • If a student is not completing HW assignments, he/she will be required to sit at the HW table at lunch. An administrator will need to sign his/her pass and verify his/her presence. HW will then be shown to the teacher the following class period for half credit. • If you miss class due to a school activity (Knowledge Quest, instrument lessons, guidance, etc.) it is your responsibility to get any homework or classwork missed before going home that day and completing it. • Student Signature • Parent Signature
