3rd Grade Homework Policy
Dear Parents,
As you are aware, CTA is an accelerated school which requires the completion of assignments that are often times more difficult than that of a general curriculum elementary school. The workload, pace of instruction, and difficulty of material covered mirrors that of an accelerated school. By signing below, you are acknowledging the need to spend the necessary time with your child in supporting the concepts taught at school. You are also agreeing to adhere to the homework responsibility that is mandatory at CTA-Liberty. Homework must be checked for accuracy and 100% completion every evening.
It is my responsibility, as a classroom teacher, to assist your child in succeeding in all academic areas. We are a team and I’m committed to doing everything I can to create a comfortable environment that encourages positive learning experiences. If you have any questions about the required assignments or the absent/late work CTA-Liberty policy stated below, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you.
Absent/Late Work
It is required that all assignments be completed. All students shall be provided one day for each absent day to make up missed assignments, not including long term assignments. (Long term assignments are due at the beginning of class on the day the students returns from the absence.) Work not completed by the assigned time shall be considered late; however, teachers shall use their discretion to determine guidelines in acceptance of late assignments due to extenuating circumstances.
Grades
K-3 The assignment shall be marked down 10% for each day it is late. After two days, a 0%
shall be given.
4 The assignment shall be marked down 10% for the first day it is late. One the second
day it is late, the same assignment shall receive a 69% if the work is of C quality or better
better. After two days, a 0% shall be given.
5-6 Assignments one day late shall receive a 69% if the work is of C quality or better.
Thereafter, a 0% shall be given.
Long-term Assignments
Examples of long-term assignments include, but are not limited to, book reports, poems/recitations, science projects, research papers, and current events.
