Grading Policy

Homework Guidelines for Parents & Students

1. PROVIDE A STUDY AREA: Good lighting, proper seating at a table or a desk, adequate materials, sufficient space. Turn off the television, CD's and radio.
2. PROVIDE A SPECIFIC TIME PERIOD: Same time period daily. Establish rules, such as "Complete homework first." Prevent students from using the telephone or watching TV until homework is completed neatly and accurately.
3. THINK POSITIVELY: Encourage your student to understand the value of homework. Any accomplishment requires work, practice and perseverance. Give as much assistance as possible, but remember that homework is your child's responsibility.
4. SUPERVISE HOMEWORK: Make sure your student has enough time, understands directions, and works carefully.
5. HELP THE HOMEWORK HABIT: If your student doesn't bring homework home, determine whether he/she is forgetting it, or failing to bring it home. Contact the teacher when in doubt.
