Homework will be fairly constant each week. Every Friday, students are expected to turn in their spelling homework and signed reading logs. If you find your child spending an exorbitant amount of time on their language arts' homework, please contact me and we can make modifications as needed.
Homework policy:
1) For each day late, the assignment will lose 10 points. After five days, assignments will not be accepted.
2) A student may turn in an excuse note from a parent/guardian in lieu of their work on the day it is due and not be penalized.
3) If there is a snow day or for some other reason school is cancelled, work is due the first day we return to school. (This applies to quizzes/tests as well.)
As always, if you have any questions/concerns, please contact me at: srschwartz@philasd.org
