Policies & Procedures
Classroom Policies
Homework Policy
Fourth graders are expected to complete homework assignments on the day given and to be turned in by the next morning, unless noted otherwise. If students do not turn in their homework on time 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.
FACTS SIS will be updated by Tuesday afternoons. A weekly progress report will be sent via email. If your student has a missing assignment, FACTS will notify you that day at 1:30 p.m.
Redo Policy
Assignments that receive less than a 75% are eligible for a redo. Assignments will have the score and a written note “Please complete by (date)”. Assignments will go home each Thursday in the yellow folders. The return date is the following Monday, with the exception of school holidays. If the assignment is not turned in by the date listed on the paper, it will not be corrected again. 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.
Thursday Folders
Yellow folders go home each Thursday and are to be returned on Monday.
The folders will contain assignments, redo assignments, and important information from the school office.
Communication Policy
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please email me or leave a message with Mrs. Adams in the office. I normally respond to messages within 24 hours. I check my email each morning and before I leave each day. A weekly newsletter is sent out via MailChimp. The newsletter includes what we will be doing each week along with other important information.
School Policies
Make Up Work
Students absent one week or less are allowed two days for every day absent to complete missed work (for example, if absent for 3 days, all work should be completed in the 6 school days following the return of the student). For absences longer than one week, the time allowed will be one week plus the number of days absent. Students are expected to fulfill long-term assignments as originally scheduled. Planned absence work will be expected to be turned in when returning to school. If planned absence work not completed it will result in a 10% penalty.
(See Section 2.8 in Parent Student Handbook)
Outdoor Recess Policy
On most days, students will be expected to go outside for recess. If the following conditions exist, the students will not be taken out except to get a few minutes of fresh air.
- The temperature is 15 degrees F. (-13 C) or below. The wind chill index is 0 (-18 C) or below. There is significant falling moisture.
- Teachers may take their classes out briefly for fresh air at their discretion.
- Students must have a jacket/coat to go out to recess if the temperature is 50 degrees or below.
(See Section 1.16 in Parent Student Handbook)
Extracurricular Eligibility Standards
Hope Lutheran School’s eligibility policy requires all grades to be at least 75%. This will be updated on a weekly basis, and notification will be by Tuesday for those who are ineligible for all competitions for that eligibility cycle (Wednesday-Tuesday). Students will be allowed to practice unless a mandatory study hall has been given during practice time.
What does it mean to be ineligible to play in the next game/match or meet? The student should still attend the contest and sit with his or her team on the bench but may NOT wear their uniform. The coach or club sponsor may require the student to dress up (boys may be required to wear ties if their coaches or sponsor also are dressed for the game and girls may be required to wear church type clothes as well). At this point, the student is still very much a part of the team and can still learn more about the game by observing from the bench. It is also important for them to realize the impact they have on their team because they are not playing or participating.
Extracurricular activities include all athletic and non-athletic school sponsored clubs, such as knitting and rocket club. Band is excluded from eligibility requirements.
