Homework is assigned to students to reinforce what has been learned in class, to help prepare students for upcoming tests or projects, and to help students develop self-discipline, time-management skills, responsibility, and organizational skills.

Because homework is a valuable tool in the educational process, it will be assigned to middle school students Monday through Thursday in each class, and occasionally on Friday. In addition, written and oral reports will be assigned each nine week grading period.

Tests and quizzes will be given periodically in each class. Students will usually be given a week’s notice to prepare for a test or a quiz, but need to be prepared daily.

If a student is absent, he or she will need to be prepared to make up tests, quizzes, or projects in a timely manner.   A student will need to ask his or her teacher for absent work, please, not just a classmate.

Students are expected to complete ALL assignments neatly, following directions. If assignments are not turned in the morning they are due, students will sit in a quiet area to complete it at recess time.

Teachers may reduce the point value of work that is turned in late, so students should complete assignments on time... though students will get 3 "oops passes" per quarter, which can be used on any assignment to avoid a late penalty- we recognize that everyone needs a break now and again!

Students have the opportunity to use lunch and recess time to study or complete homework or projects.  Sra. Thompson is available before school, from 7:30-8:30, for extra help for any student who makes an arrangement in advance (parents can email her at sra2thompson@hotmail.com ).

We believe parents are key to a child’s education, so we encourage you to be involved in the process. We intend to create a partnership among teachers, students, and parents that will encourage the child to be successful in school.

Thank you for your support!  Middle school team
