6th Grade Homework Policy
 

Homework is a valuable aid in helping students make the most of their learning experiences in school.  By doing homework, students reinforce and apply what they have been taught in class, as well as prepare for upcoming assessments and new lessons. Setting aside time each day for homework helps students learn responsibility and independence while developing positive study habits that will stay with them throughout their education.                      

        Daily homework assignments should take approximately 20 minutes per subject to complete except when studying for tests or working on a long-range project.  A student’s average is comprised of the following:  Assessments count for 90%, Homework/Preparation counts for 10%.  Be aware that homework assignments might be collected and graded, and when this happens, they will be counted as graded homeworks or quizzes.

Preparation Grade:   Students start each marking period with a grade of 100 for their Preparation Grade.  All that has to be done to keep this grade is to come to class prepared with fully charged Chromebooks, notebooks, pencils/pens, books, and completed homework.  If a student is unprepared for class, 5 points will be deducted from the Preparation Grade.  Notebooks may be collected and graded for a preparation or quiz grade.

Homework Grade:  Students are expected to follow these guidelines when completing homework:

1.All assignments will be completed and turned in on time.

2. Homework missed due to an absence will be made up within a reasonable amount of time.

If a student comes to class without a homework assignment, these consequences apply:

  1. Ten (10) points will be deducted from the student's Homework Grade for each missing or unacceptable assignment.

  2. Students will be able to come 11th  period THAT DAY to complete the missing assignment for five points back. Missing homework may not be completed prior to 11th period.  

  3. If the assignment was counted as a grade, the highest possible grade the student can receive after making up the assignment during 11th period, is 80%.

Remember that students should complete homework on their own.  Encourage your child to complete the assignments to the best of her/his ability.  If you notice that your child is having problems with the work, please contact us.
