Assignment Policy

Central Intermediate has a school wide assignment policy. Classroom tests and assessments will have different guidelines as determined by the teacher. All assignments are expected to be turned in consistently and on time. All classroom assignments will fit into the following criteria:

Assignment Corrections
  • All assignments can be corrected up to 100%. Students will not be able to correct assessments/tests or projects.

  • It is at the teacher’s discretion for how long students will have to make corrections on a particular assignment. This may vary based on the type of assignment and work required.

  • Students may be requested to complete a variation of the assignment, so that it is an accurate depiction of the student’s understanding.

Incomplete Assignments
  • If an assignment is not turned in 100% completed to the teacher’s expectations, it will be returned to the student and called “incomplete.”

  • A student will receive a one-time 10% deduction from the assignment grade for the assignment not being 100% complete when it was due.

Missing Assignments
  • An assignment that is not turned in on the date it is due will be considered “missing”.

  • If an assignment is “missing”, students must turn it in by the third day or it may result in a zero. The only exception to this rule is for students that have an excused absence.

  • A student will receive a one-time 10% deduction from the assignment grade.

  • Students may not be allowed to correct “missing” assignments.

P.A.S.S. (Providing Academic Support Systems)
  • Tiered intervention/support system to help with assignment completion

  • All incomplete/missing assignments will be logged on the P.A.S.S. sheet, which each homeroom teacher will track.

  • Non-academic assignments/forms/parent signatures will not count as incomplete or missing assignments.

  • An incomplete/missing log sheet will be attached in each student’s planner. Parents, students, and teachers will be required to sign when an assignment is logged.

  • There is a reflection form that will be completed at each step.

P.A.S.S. Steps
  • Step 1: Student reflection after four incomplete/missing assignments.

  • Step 2: Teacher/student reflection after eight incomplete/missing assignments.

  • Step 3: Parent/teacher/student reflection during meeting after twelve incomplete/missing assignments.
  • Step 4: Teacher/student reflection after thirteen + incomplete/missing assignments.


Planners

Planners have been purchased for every student at Central.  They are a great tool to help students with organization.   All students are expected to fill out their assignment planner for each class daily. You can help your child out by checking to see if they have homework listed each day.  The planner is a great resource for communication between home and school. If a student loses their planner it is up to the family to replace the planner. Student planners can be replaced for a fee of $3.00.
