Homework is due on the "Due Date".  The first time a homework assignment is not turned in on time, the student will receive a late work warning.  They may bring the assignment in the second day for a starting grade of 90, the third day for a starting grade of 80.  The third day for a starting grade of 70.  After the third day, the assignment, if turned in, at best will receive a 50.

Homework and classwork follows the DRIS "No Work, No Play" policy.  1st time an assignment is not turned in on time the parent is contacted and the student will sit out at recess and complete work.  2nd time late, again the parent will be contacted and the student sits out to complete work.  3rd time late, will be the same as 1 and 2.  4th time late, the parent is contacted and the student will be required to serve a 30-minute "detention" to complete any and all missing assignments.  Please see the "classroom management" page for more detailed information.

Failed Assignment/Tests - If a student receives a failing grade below a 70, they will be given an opportunity to correct the assignment.  This is in addition to any homework assignments.  If a student who has failed an assignment, chooses not to make corrections, the grade will remain.  A student may use books, notes, parents, whatever it takes to make the needed corrections.  Depending on the accuracy of the corrections, a student will receive a 70.  Corrections will be due one week after graded papers are returned to the students.  Please do not ask for extensions.

I will deduct 10 points from an assignment or test if a student fails to write their name and/or number on their paper.  If there are more than one student with the same name, those students will be required to write first and last names on their papers.  If they fail to write both, they will loose 10 points.

I will deduct 10 points from assignments, tests, lab sheets for any work that is completed in anything other than pencil unless I have specified they can use something else.
