HOMEWORK
ACADEMY
Begins
Monday, November 12th
Homework is a very important
part of a student’s learning process at Prague Public
School. Students are expected to complete homework in
order to reinforce, practice and enrich class content. As an
on-going effort to improve student achievement, teachers and
administrators may use the following administrative procedure to
ensure homework completion.
If a student fails to turn in
homework on the due date, the student will have to attend Homework
Academy. The time (3:30-4:30 p.m.) will be spent after school
with the assigned teacher for that week. The student must
check in with the assigned Homework Academy teacher that day after
school. If needed, the student may then go to the classroom
teacher for help on the homework to be completed. However,
the student must check out with the Homework Academy teacher.
Once the homework is completed and turned in to the Homework
Academy teacher, the student may be excused.
Those who do not attend that
day after school, will have to attend the next day and will also be
given a detention to be served with the principal the day after the
homework is completed.
When homework is not completed
on the day it is due, 10% will be deducted from the homework
score. For example, if a student does not finish during the
hour after school and turns the assignment in the next day, the
grade will be deducted 10 %. If the student earned a 95% on
the paper, then take 90% of 95% for a score of 85.5%. If the
homework is 2 days late, then 20% will be deducted. If it is
3 days late, then 30% will be deducted. 30% will be the lowest
amount deducted as we hope the student is completed by the third
day.
If a student fails to turn in
homework, the student will be responsible for contacting the
parents and, if needed, plan for a ride home.
Can a student ever get a zero
for a homework assignment? Yes. If a student does not
stay to complete homework and still refuses to do work in detention
day after day, then a zero will be given at the end of the
quarter. If an incomplete is given at the end of the quarter
due to incomplete work and the student does not complete work in
the homework academy, then the score of zero will be
given.
