Grading Information:

You are the individual responsible for the grade you receive. I do not “give” grades, you earn them.

9-weeks grades will be based on the following:

Classwork/Daily Assignments 

Homework:

The only homework that I ask of the kids is to read for at least 20 minutes each night and to write me a summary of what has been read.  Other than that there is no homework.  However, there may be some work sent home with your child.  If a student does not complete his/her assignment of the day, they will be asked to take it home and complete it that evening and return it the next school day.  This will be a classroom assignment grade and will have a detrimental effect on their overall grade if left incomplete
