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
student will be given the option to go to lunch study
hall to complete the assignment. The signed notice
is due along with the completed assignment the
next day.
*Assignments turned in one day late will receive a 10% grade reduction.
*Assignments turned in two or more days late are marked as a zero in the
gradebook.
Repeated Late work
**A student who accumulates 3 missing/late
assignments in a quarter will receive a minor infraction
and sent to lunch detention. Three minors will result in
an after school detention and academic assistance. If
a student has no missing/late assignments or behavior
infractions for the month, he/she will earn a late pass
to be used for 1 assignment in 1 subject area.
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.
