Homework Policy
While your child is in fifth
grade, they will be expected to complete homework assignments on
time. Homework assignments will include, but are not limited to:
reading assignments, language assignments, spelling assignments,
math assignments, science assignments, social studies assignment,
and projects. I will EXPECT that
ALL assignments assigned
WILL BE turned in on
time! There are NO EXCEPTIONS to this policy!
Policy:
| 1. |
All
assignments are to be turned in on the due date.
|
|
|
| 2. |
If
assignment(s) is/are not turned in on the due date, the
student will have one (1) day to turn the work in to Mrs.
Cobb. They will receive 10% (one letter grade) off on late
assignments.
|
| |
|
| 3. |
If the late assignment is not turned in
the following day (1 day late), they will have one more
chance to turn it in two (2) days late, and they will
receive 20% (two letter grades) off on the late assignment.
|
| |
|
| 4. |
If the late assignment is not turned in
by the second day late, the assignment receives a zero (0),
and the student will not be given another opportunity to
turn in the late assignment.
|
| |
|
| 5. |
Parents will be made aware of late assignments by receiving
a Missing Assignment Slip. The slip must be returned to Mrs.
Cobb by the following day, or the student will move their
behavior card to Green (refer to behavior policy). |
| |
|
| 6. |
Once a student has accumulated three (3)
missing assignments in one (1) week, he/she will serve an
afterschool detention. During this time, the student will
work on any assignments that have not been completed
(regardless if they receive a grade on the assignment or
not). Refer to Detention Policy.
|
| |
|
| 7. |
If your child is sick, they will have the
same number of days to make-up their work that they were
sick (example: 2 days sick = 2 days to make-up work). If the
work is not turned in after that time period, the homework
policy goes into effect

discuss what steps should be taken next.
