Here is the official school policy for missing homework: 

All assignments are to be turned in on the day and time they are due.  In case of emergency, or in unforeseen circumstances, a note from a parent explaining such is necessary.  Teachers will share their homework policies with parents and students.  Policies will vary among teachers and grades due to the workload for each grade or subject.  

Below is our “Oops” Policy.  “Oops” are excused assignments and serve as a warning prior to being issued a Homework Referral Slip (Green Slip).

5th Grade

2 oops for the year, then to green slips

Students who have incomplete or missing work will earn a Homework Referral Slip (green slip).

a. Students are notified of Green slip and given the slip by the homeroom teacher.

b. The student will be dismissed to the supervising teacher’s room to complete the homework during their assigned recess time.

c. The Assistant Principal will record the infraction on FACTS, email the parent(s),  and indicate the number  (1st, 2nd, 3rd) the infraction  is on the slip.

d. The supervising teacher will return the slip directly to the student to take home to the parent and return to the teacher signed by the parent.

After the third green slip in any quarter a parent/student/teacher conference is requested to establish a plan for homework completion.  

A student who continues to have incomplete work may be assigned to ‘After-School Focus Time” (detention) in order to work toward meeting required expectations of completing assignments on time.  If the student continues not to meet the required expectations, an ‘In-school Recovery Day’ will be required.

The above mentioned procedure will be executed as follows:

4th Green slip 30 minute After-school Detention

5th Green slip 60 minute After-school Detention 

6th Green slip In-school Recovery Day (with Parent-paid sub) This decision is at the discretion of the administration. 

7th Green Slip On the 7th Green Slip the student will earn a Zero on this and all successive assignments.
