HomeworkAlong with a daily reading requirement, homework will be assigned each Monday – Thursday. It is the students’ responsibility to complete their homework on time and to turn it in the next day. Please check over assignments for accuracy. Students will have a homework quiz grade averaged into each subject area. They begin with a 100%. Two points are deducted from that average each time a homework assignment is not turned in. Please let me know if your child is experiencing any difficulties with completion of homework.

GradingStudents will be graded on quizzes, tests, essays, classwork assignments, homework completion, and projects/book reports.

On major projects/book reports a rubric will always be provided well in advance of the due date.
