HOMEWORK
• Homework is assigned daily.
• It is the student’s responsibility to record assignments in
the assignment notebook each day.
• Upcoming tests and projects are posted on the school’s
web-site and updated each week at www.summithill.org .
* * If your child is absent, please arrange for the work missed to be sent home
with another student or picked up in the office. It is easy to fall behind!!
Late & Missing Assignments
Late Assignments
*A notice of the missing assignment will be
sent home for a parent or guardian’s
signature. The signed notice is due along
with the completed assignment the next day.
*Assignments turned in two days late will receive a 10% grade reduction.
*Assignments turned in three or more days late are marked as a 0% per the
district guidelines.
Repeated Late work
*A student who has four late assignment within one quarter
will be required to stay after school for two days of
academic assistance. Parents will be contacted at least
one day prior to the student staying after so arrangements
can be made. At the beginning of each quarter every
student gets a fresh start.
**The fifth late assignment results in three days of
academic assistance. At that point a parent conference will
be arranged so we can work together to create a solution
geared toward helping your child succeed.
Homework Help
• If your child is struggling with a particular problem or assignment
and you are unable to help him/her, please initial or sign that
problem so that I know he/she attempted to complete the
assignment.
• This will let me know your child needs reteaching or more support
with that skill.
• Prior to tests or when a difficult concept is being introduced I offer
extra help and support in the form of study groups that meet during
intramural time. I will let the children know when we are having a
study group.
• Academic Assistance is available after school. Please, send a
note with your child letting me know he/she will be staying after.
Include in the note how your child will be getting home from
Academic Assistance.
