Home Stretch

All corrected work must be turned in by Thursday, 5/11. It is my goal to have all grades entered by the following Monday. All extra credit work must be turned in by Thursday as well. NO exceptions!

Spring Fling

Thanks so much to everyone for donating to the 6th grade basket. It looks great. Please take time to visit the Spring Fling on Friday and Saturday, 5/11 & 5/12, in the new gym. All of the baskets look awesome plus there will be several vendors and food available.

HOMEWORK POLICY

The majority of homework is work not completed in class or assignments to prepare for a test or quiz. Homework will also be assigned for special projects or to practice a newly introduced concept.

Each homework assignment has an important purpose for the student. For this reason, I will notify parents if the assignment is not done or if it is turned in late or incomplete. The student will also be given a "demerit" and possibly a recess detention. Five demerits in a nine week period will result in an in-school detention.

Students are given many opportunities throughout the day to earn "Sticker Charts" that he/she may use to erase a demerit (only after the missing or late assignment is completed and turned in the following day signed by a parent). If not completed and returned as stated, the student will be given a zero and retain the demerit. Sticker Charts may also be used to add 5 points to a test or quiz grade (only after the student uses his/her textbook to correct the test or quiz.)

Demerits are given as consequences for unacceptable behavior. Sticker Charts are given as rewards for good behavior and achievements.
