Mrs. K’s

Third graders are expected to spend time each evening reading, reviewing memory work and spelling words.  Written homework assignments should be completed on the day given and to be turned in by the next day, unless noted otherwise. 

Each student will have an assignment book and  homework folder that should be brought back and forth daily.  The folder will have one side labeled “Homework” and the other side labeled “Finished”.  All work to turn in will be placed in the folder to bring home.  “Finished” work will be handed in when students arrive the following morning.  

If students do not turn in their homework they will reciece a “missing” grade in the gradebook and 5% will be taken off each day until the assignment has been turned in.  If a student has more than 3 missing assignments out at one time, they will attend mandatory study hall.  An email will be sent to the parents/guardians notifying which study hall to attend.

Assignments that receive less than a 75% are eligible for a redo.
Assignments will go home each week in the Thursday envelope.  Corrections must be turned in by the following week to recieve any additional points.  Quizzes and tests are not included as redo assignments.

Each redo assignment needs to be completed on a separate piece of paper and stapled to the original  assignment.  The first page should be the redo assignment with the heading of the assignment that was redone, along with the date and name of the student.  Student’s will only need to complete/redo the questions that were missed, not the whole assignment.

If a question arises about a redo assignment, please contact me via email.

A “missing” assignment is any assignment (homework, in-class work, or project) that has not been turned in when asked for by the teacher on the due date.  Missing assignments do not include missing work from a student who had an excused absence, as they receive 2 extra days per day they were absent in order to complete work they missed.

All missing assignments will receive a 5% deduction for each day it is missing, with a maximum late work deduction of 50%. Keep in mind that RenWeb treats assignments entered as missing as a zero, so they drastically hurt the student’s overall grade.

Parents will be contacted by RenWeb when their child receives an “M”. Students will also receive a print out of any missing assignments listed from RenWeb on Thursdays, to go home in their envelopes.

If a student accrues multiple missing assignments from all their classes collectively, he/she will be removed from specials and/or may be asked to stay for mandatory study hall until the work is completed and turned in. The importance of students completing their assignments at Hope is a priority over other extracurricular activities, both athletic as well as non-athletic. We value teaching our students to care about their academics and encourage them to strive to reach their full potential so that they will soar when they leave for high school and beyond!
