We are looking forward to a great year of learning with your children.  The following is a list of the 6^th grade expectations that will help us facilitate your child’s learning.   Please review the following information with your child and sign/return the parent/student acknowledgement form found at the end of this document.

Planners

Student Responsibility:

Students will use their planners to record all homework assignments, unfinished class work that needs to be completed as homework, and upcoming tests/project dates.

Parent Responsibility:

Please check your child’s planner nightly so you are aware of all homework assignments, unfinished class work that needs to be completed as homework, and upcoming tests/project dates. If your child’s planner is blank, then they aren’t doing their job as a student and utilizing their planner correctly as homework is written on the boards in classrooms daily and time is provided for students to write in their planners.

STUDENT ABSENCES

Upon returning from any absence, it is each student’s responsibility to obtain class work and homework, as well as arrange any test make ups with each of their teachers.

GRADING PRACTICES

All class work and homework should be completed when the assignment is due.  There is math homework about 4 nights a week a week and science is given about 3 times per week.  Students are allowed to miss 2 daily homework assignments without penalty.   

Any missing projects or assessments will receive a score of zero.  Assignments that are handed in late will lose points each day the assignment has not been turned in.

Tests may not be retaken

Extra credit:  BrainPop- The students are allowed to watch 5 videos on topics that we have covered in class.  If the student receives a 10/10 they will receive 5 points of extra credit for each one.
