Late Work and Retake Policy

Many students have not been completing their work in class.  Graded work is coming home today, and many of their test scores are directly related to their classwork.  If student are not turning work in, or have late work, they are to complete it over the weekend.  Please remember that my request to retake and late work policies are as follows:

Request to Retest: students may retake a test with a grade of 70% or lower.  Students must fill out the “requests to retest” sheet and return by the following Monday after the grade is received.  Students will have the remainder of the week to study and the retest will be on Friday.  The retest may be the same test, but it is highly unlikely.  Students may not retake classwork assignment or redo projects.

Late Work: Each Friday, missing assignments from the week will be written on a list and posted in the back of the room by our turn in bin.  Student’s may ask for 1 additional copy if needed, but the assignment must be turned in by the following Tuesday to receive credit with no penalty.  After Tuesday if the assignment is not turned in, the missing assignment will result in a 0% in the gradebook and the assignment cannot be retaken or turned in at a later date.

In 5th grade, students must be more independent and responsible for their late work.  We have things in the classroom to help them with their late work, and being able to track what they are turning in.  

Again, please do not forget to submit your order for books, I will place the orders on Wednesday, September 6th. Have a wonderful labor day weekend.
