CHECK GRADES ON SIS
Each individual assignment is posted as well as the overall grade. Check weekly to keep track of your child’s grades and any
missing assignments. Students should KEEP all assignments until they are recorded on
SIS and they have tested over the material. If a student is absent, a zero may be entered in SIS until they
turn in the work. LATE WORK / NO NAME WORK will NOT be entered online
immediately.
DAILY HOMEWORK…
The homework is listed in each classroom. Your child should write their homework in their agenda
book EACH DAY. They can also take a picture of the homework with their
device. As a back-up, they can check 6 Gold’s website. YOUR CHILD SHOULD HAVE THEIR HOMEWORK TO SHOW
YOU – IT IS NOT COLLECTED BEFORE THE DUE DATE.
A+ TUTORING / HOMEWORK RECOVERY
Tuesdays and Thursdays 2:45 – 4:00 (students can ride the activity bus home).
High School students work individually with students (supervised by a teacher).
Contact Mrs. O’Day in the office to sign up.
Teachers may sign students up for Homework Recovery if they get behind in their work.

HOMEWORK
Homework is PRACTICE. MOST homework is graded on EFFORT. Write out problems, SHOW WORK, and
circle answers. Students grade their own homework so they
can MAKE CORRECTIONS and ASK QUESTIONS.
NO TEARS IN MATH!!
Homework is PRACTICE. Students should TRY every problem.
Your child should NOT be up late at night crying over their math homework!
Sign off on the homework and have him/her go to bed.

When your child is absent they miss important class information! (Though, they think the world stands still and waits for them to return to school.)
Notes from class will be uploaded to WEEBLY.
Use them if you’re absent.
Use them to fill in gaps in your class notes.
There’s a link on WEEBLY to the Big Ideas Math Site.
