Holidays which fall on a Saturday shall be observed the proceeding Friday. The Board expects athletes, coaches and spectators to demonstrate good sportsmanship during athletic competitions. Students and employees are responsible for maintaining sportsmanlike behavior at all times and will be subject to disciplinary action for improper conduct. The Superintendent or designee shall provide for the proper supervision and safety of students at athletic events. The administration and certificated staff shall design homework plans and assignments so that through their homework, students can reinforce academic skills taught in school and learn how to conduct research effectively, develop ideas creatively and become life-long learners.
Homework is the responsibility of the student.
It is the student s job to develop regular study habits and to do most assignments independently. To be effective, homework assignment should not place an undue burden on students and families. Homework should reinforce classroom learning objectives and be related to student needs and abilities. Students shall be given the opportunity to make up school work missed because of an excused absence and shall receive full credit if the work is turned in according to a reasonable makeup schedule. Teachers shall assign such makeup work as necessary to ensure academic progress, not as a punitive measure.
