Homework Success
"Late" Homework Grading
On time = eligible for full credit (100%)
Late the same day and any time after that, you will lose points.
If an assignment is more than 10 days late, the grade will be a 50% (which is still WAY better than a 0!)
ZERO's are not acceptable. My students can ALWAYS turn in their work at any time during the current marking period. I will offer extra credit assignments and opportunities for students to improve their grades (provided all work has been turned in). They just have to ask!
Plan to Stay Organized
Day - by - Day
Each morning, look at your planner. Are you ready for the day?
Before you leave home for school, make sure you have everything you need for the day. Backpack? Binder? Homework? Signed notes? Lunch? Special projects? What else?
At school, write your assignments in your agenda. Write due dates, quiz dates, and test dates in your agenda.
Before you leave school for home, make sure you have everything you need for that night’s homework. Handouts? books? Worksheets? Notes? What else?
At home, stick to your homework schedule as closely as you can. Life happens, but try not to get off track too much.
Each night before you go to bed, look at your planner. Are you ready for tomorrow?
Each night before you go to bed, gather up everything you need for school the next day. Put it all in one place - on your desk, by the back door, or on the kitchen table. Try to use the same place every night.
