Homework Expectations

Homework is an
important way to reinforce many of the skills taught in
school. You will have several assignments during the school
day for which you are responsible for. Rogers Middle School
issues a homework planner to help you become organized.
Therefore, it is important to write down all of your
assignments and have your parents check to make sure you
have completed your work.
If for any reason you are unable to complete an
assignment, please provide a note explaining why the
homework could not be completed and it will be excused for
that day. However, the assignment will automatically become
homework to be completed at home and returned to school the
following day. If there is something you do not understand,
please see me to schedule a time to go over that particular
assignment. If you are absent, you will have up to two
school days to complete any assignment.
Homework and
class work will be randomly collected in class and checked.
This is to ensure that everyone completes their homework to
the best of their ability for their own success in the
classroom. ALL homework assignments will be written on the
homework board and you will be required to write these
assignments down in your planner. If no homework is issued,
you should write ‘no homework’.
 It
is your responsibility as a student to return work WITHOUT
any reminders. If you are late completing an assignment, you
will lose five points for each day the assignment is late
(without a parent excuse). There are a number of
consequences for not completing homework which may include
being sent to Quiet Study to complete missing work, staying
after school or coming in before school, a phone call home,
or getting a zero.
Grading
Expectations

Your
grade will be determined by your effort and performance on
all assignments and tests. Participation in class
combined with your grades on class work, homework, tests, and writing pieces all
contribute to your final average for each marking period. You
will receive a midterm progress report at the half-way point
of each marking period ONLY if your grade is below an 80. If you feel
you need extra help in a particular area or topic, please do
not hesitate to let me know so that we may make arrangements
prior to a unit test.
