The purpose of homework is to have students practice what
they have learned in school. Fifth grade students
will have homework almost every night. Students will be responsible for
maintaining an agenda. The agenda must
travel with the student from class to class. The agenda serves many purposes:
When homework is collected or
checked for effort and a student does not have the assignment in class, the box
for the assignment will be highlighted by the teacher. When the teacher receives the assignment, the
teacher who assigned the homework will initial the box. Students completing all
assignments and those having all of their highlights completed will be awarded
weekly with a period of extended recess. Students with uninitialed highlights
will be given the opportunity to work on their highlights with a teacher’s
assistance during recess.
Students are given five days to
complete a highlight and will incur a 10 point deduction of the final grade. If the missing assignment is not completed
within the five-day grace period, students will receive a zero for the
assignment.
Each teacher will assign a work
ethic grade for their subject area that will count as a test grade at the end
of the nine weeks by counting the number of highlights in their subject area.
Each highlight will count five points each and will be deducted from the
student’s work ethic grade of 100%.
Please
refer to the Euchee Creek Student Handbook for more guidelines on homework.
