Expectations and Procedures

Planner

Each child will receive a planner that is to be to taken to all classes, all year, and used daily to record assignments.  Planners are to be used as a communication tool between school and home, and will be checked by your child’s teachers periodically.  Students will be expected to have their planners filled out, according to the teacher’s directions, by the end of each class.

Homework

Your child will have homework assignments in each of the curricular areas.  Homework may include, but is not limited to:

• Daily assignments not completed in class
• Work designed specifically for the practice or review of skills
• Preparation for tests in all the curricular areas

Late Homework Policy

• If an assignment is not turned in when it is due, the student’s work/study habits grade will be affected.
• Once an assignment is late, it is the student’s responsibility to complete it.
• Excessive late work will result in parent contact.

Tardy Policy

Students who come to class late will be counted as tardy.  The procedure for tardies in each class is as follows:
1st tardy – Warning
2nd tardy – 15 minutes after school with the parent notified
3rd tardy – 30 minutes after school with the parent notified
4th tardy – The student meets with Dr. Dirks or Mrs. Seim – parent notified.
5th tardy – The student is assigned a detention by Dr. Dirks or Mrs. Seim
6th tardy – The student receives a referral to Dr. Dirks or Mrs. Seim

Absent Work

• All planned absences must be reported to the attendance office so the students can receive a pink slip, which will be their pass back into class.
• It is the responsibility of the student to collect work missed due to being absent. This includes time spent in the Quiet Room.
• If a student misses a test, quiz or any assignment that would require them to work in the classroom, they must make arrangements with the classroom teacher.
• Students will be given 2 days per day absent to complete the work. If it is not returned at that time, it will be considered late and the homework policy listed above goes into effect.
• Please wait for 3 consecutive days of unplanned absence before you ask for work to be sent home.
