  9. Homework • Homework will be assigned daily. The SMSD guideline is 50 minutes of daily homework for 5th graders. Please note this means solid time on task ~ not interrupted or sporadic effort. Homework is recorded in the student planner each day.  Assignments will also be posted online. • Long-term projects such as reading logs and projects often require some daily work over a period of time to complete by the assigned due date. Attempting to complete the night before always causes stress and is not recommended.  • When a child is absent due to illness, assignments will be sent home if requested.  Please call or email early in the day so assignments can be prepared. SMSD policy states that students have 2 days to complete make-up work for each day of absence due to illness.  Advance assignments are generally not prepared for unscheduled vacations from school.
