HOMEWORK POLICY

The Salida Union School District has adopted a policy regarding homework.

The policy states:

1. A total of one hour and forty-five minutes of homework is acceptable for four nights per week for grades 6-8. With the exception of previously assigned projects, no weekend homework should be assigned on a Friday.

2. Students who are absent due to excused or unexcused absences, or absences caused by suspensions, WILL BE ALLOWED to make up all of their assignments.

For each day a student is absent, at least TWO DAYS time will be allowed for students to complete their work.

It is the student's responsibility to seek make-up work from the teacher.

Students on home suspension can get missed work upon return to school. Requesting homework at the time of suspension will not be allowed.

3. Independent Study may be requested for a minimum of five (5) days to a maximum of two (2) weeks. A two (2) day notice is required in order to give teachers sufficient time to complete independent study assignments. Students must turn in all required work upon return for days of absence to be excused.

4. A Homework Assignment Request may be filled out for students who will miss 3-5 days of school. A two (2) day notice prior to planned absence is still required to allow time for teachers to accomodate the request. Work may also be requested for students who have been ill for 3 or more days. All work must be turned in upon return to school in order to receive credit.

Independent Study Contracts and Homework Assignment Requests can be obtained in the ATTENDANCE OFFICE. Call the Attendence Office at 545-1633 for details.
