  7. Language Arts Homework Small homework assignments will be given on a regular basis. Examples of homework assignments are the following: • 15 minutes of reading • Studying roots • Working on their interactive grammar notebook • Unfinished classwork • Writing for an assignment The purpose for this homework is to have students practice and/or apply what they have learned in class. Late Homework Passes: • Each quarter, students will receive a late homework pass for each class. • If a student forgets his/her homework, that homework pass will allow the student to finish the assignment and turn it in for full credit. • Without the pass, students cannot receive full credit for a late assignment.

  8. Schoology Calendar: The calendar is the most useful tool for parents and students to use. On Schoology, the calendar lists when assignments are due for every class. Grades: The most accurate grade information is NOT located on Schoology. For the most accurate grades, please check PowerSchool. Messages: Students can send messages to teachers if they have questions. Assignments: Students will be required to submit assignments through Schoology. If students have any difficulty, they can message their teacher. Updates: There is a section in Schoology that is labeled updates. Teachers use this tool to give quick reminders to students.
