WRITTEN NOTES - Written notes are required for all absences, even if you have called Child Check.   This is a state law.   They are also required for any change in routine (e.g. going home with a friend or in a different line).

HOMEWORK - Homework will be assigned each weeknight.  It may include reading, writing or studying.  Whenever possible, there will be no assignments given on weekends.  I urge you to check that all written assignments have been completed neatly, that all reading is finished, and that all studied material is known.  Assignment books should be signed after homework has been checked.
     Students will begin each trimester with a homework grade of 100 in each subject.  For each written assignment that is not handed in, four points will be deducted from that grade.  The student will also stay in during lunch time recess to make-up the missed assignment.

SIGNED PAPERS - Marked papers will be sent home on Thursdays.   They should be signed and returned to school the next day.

ASSESSMENTS – Each subject is assessed in five different ways.   These are listed below.

                        Religion:  Tests, Quizzes, Classwork, Projects, and Homework

                        Mathematics:  Tests, Quizzes, Classwork/Maintenance, Performance Assessments, and Homework

                        Science:  Tests, Class Activities/Quizzes, Graded Worksheets, Projects, and Homework                                     

ASSIGNMENTS – All long term assignments will be posted on my Calendar (see link below).  The students will usually be given at least a weeks notice for major tests and longer for projects.   Dates will be posted when the children are informed that the evaluation is being given.
