What is Mrs. Ross-Nissley's Homework Policy?
When students are given homework, assignments and/or projects the work must be completed at home and brought in on the due date. This means all homework not turned in on the due date will result in a lower grade. Students who are absent or have a legitimate excuse will be allowed the amount of absent days to turn in the work. As part of your daily routine your child will be bringing home a daily homework log. Please take the time to review the log and the homework that must be turned in. Once you have looked over each assignment, please sign above the line that asks for the parent signature. Your child will receive a special award each day that this is done correctly.
