Homework Policy

Responsibility and good study habits are developed through the completion of daily homework assignments. The amount of homework will vary for each child and each week. ALL UNFINISHED CLASSWORK BECOMES HOMEWORK AND IS DUE THE NEXT MORNING.

Homework is entered in the gradebook as follows:

On time and complete = Full credit

Incomplete/Late = Partial  credit (70%)

Not turned in = Missing (MI) until turned in for partial credit

Homework is updated in the Aeries program at minimum every two weeks.
