7^th Grade Homework Procedure

Welcome to 7^th grade! As your teachers, we anticipate a successful year together. Outlined below is the homework procedure for the 2004-2005 school year. Please remember, the best homework procedure for all students is simply to get it done. All homework is assigned to help you expand your knowledge of each subject area. Doing your homework on time will make you a successful student!

Homework Heroes:

Students who hand in all homeowkr assignments in a subject during the five-week interim period and at the end of quarter will be added to the distinguished list of Homework Heroes that hangs outside the main office.

At the end of each quarter, all Homework Heroes’ names will be added to a raffle to win great prizes including gift certificates to local stores and restaurants. Last year, Subway Subs donated six-inch subs coupons for Homework Hero raffle winners!

Missing an Assignment – Any late assignments will result in a penalty

You may be expected to make arrangements with your teacher to make up missed homework assignments (i.e. staying after school, coming for help during study hall, handing in the assignment within 24 hours etc)

Major Assignments – For major assignments, you will be expected to follow the above procedure. In addition, each day a major assignment is late, you will lose 10% of your grade. If it is 2 days late you will lose 50% of your grade. If you fail to complete a major assignment after three days your grade will result in a zero.

Uncompleted Homework – Any homework that is not completed will result in a zero.

Please Note – Homework assignments that are reviewed in class cannot be made up. You must be able to participate in class that day. Therefore, if these assignments are not done, your grade will result in a zero.
