Absences are excusable only for instances of personal illness, illness in the family, death in the family, observance of religious holidays, or an emergency which makes attendance at school absolutely impossible. Students absent from school may not be eligible to participate in any after-school activity on that day, at the discretion of the principal. Excessive absences may be reported to the attendance officer for further action. The purpose of homework is to help students develop good study habits, learn the value of responsibility, provide essential practice or review in needed basic skills, and enrich and extend the school experience. Academic assignments must extend beyond the school day to insure student success.
Homework is a significant component of student success.
Homework will be corrected and reviewed with students by their classroom teachers. A successful educational experience for a child is dependent upon the teacher, parent and child sharing and meeting common goals.
