Late Work Policy

Starting TERM 2, OCTOBER 28, 2013. October 23, 2013 Dear Parents, With the beginning of the second term the sixth grade team will be implementing a new late work policy. At the beginning of the year many parents expressed concern for how prepared their child would be for the transition to middle school. We as teachers shared our goal as a grade level was to help students develop and maintain academic responsibility. As a grade level we will adopt this policy beginning October 28, 2013, the first day of term 2. - Work is to be turned in on time. If students are asked to fix and return an assignment it will not be marked late. - Late work will be accepted up until 1 week after the due date. ALL LATE WORK WILL RECEIVE HALF CREDIT, NO EXCEPTIONS. - Any work handed in after the 1 week period will receive NO CREDIT. - If your child is absent they will be responsible to get the work they missed. Absences DO NOT absolve students from classwork or homework. If a student is absent they will have one week to complete missing work. After one week they can only receive half credit. Thank you for your help and support in this matter. Our hope is to help our students adopt positive work habits that will aid in their academic success. Thank you, Mrs. Andersen, Miss Foster, Mrs. Hansen, and Miss Holthaus
