Important Information

As we are nearing the end of the first quarter, I wanted to make sure that our homework expectations and assignment and test policies were clear.

Students should expect some school work nightly.  They need to complete their reading minutes (20) and work on improving math skills using IXL (smart score of 80 or 20 min). Specific assignments will be listed on the blog, http://www.visioncharter.net/users/tyler-keefe and Edmodo for Mr. Keefe and on Google Classroom for Mrs. George.  

You can expect these assignments to be posted on the blog every Monday or Google Classroom everyday. Teachers allow time at school to complete assignments; however, If students do not complete assignments at school in the time allotted, they may need to bring them home to complete the assignment before the due date. If students are spending more than 1 hour each night on school work, please let us know.

Assignment/Test retake 6th Grade policy

In an effort to best transition students from elementary to secondary, during the 1st Semester students will follow: Unexcused late work will be assigned as homework or assigned for completion during recess or in place of attending an enrichment club. Unexcused late work will not be accepted for full credit. Students who score less than a 75% on a test will be able to retake a test one time, within three days of receiving their test score. The student will be given the new score; however, the final score assigned to the student for the makeup test will not exceed 85%.

During the 2nd Semester students will follow: unexcused late work will NOT be accepted. Unexcused late work will be an automatic zero. Students who score less than a 75% on a test may be offered an alternative form of mastery of the teacher’s choosing.
