General Information: Core Courses Grade 6

Classroom Procedures:

We review homework daily so students must come to class with completed assignments. Students should be ready to work cooperatively with peers and do their best.

Homework:

  • Homework will relate to the daily lesson, reinforcing what is taught in class or introducing the next day’s lesson.

  • Students are expected to write neatly and in full sentences.

  • Homework is due in class the next day unless otherwise stated.

  • Homework will be marked late if not in class when reviewed. Grades will be greatly reduced if homework is late.

Grading Policy:

4 = Neat, complete, on time, good effort

3 = Late but in by 2:40 on due date

2 = One day late

1 = More than one day late, if permitted

0 = No work completed

Music lessons:

Students must inform the teacher that they will miss class due to a lesson. Homework is due that day and the student must pick up homework assignments before dismissal.

Absences:

Assignments given before the absence are due when the student returns to school. Students will be given one day extension on assignments for each day absent. It is the student’s responsibility to give this work to the teacher.

Extra help:

If a student wants to stay after school, arrangements should be made ahead of time. Students can take the late bus on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays.

Communication:

Core teachers check e-mail messages daily. This is the best way to communicate with these teachers.
