So what is the homework policy in sixth grade?

Like Nike says, "Just Do It!"

All homework should be completed in a neat and thoughtful manner.  A full heading is to be included.  If a student does not turn in homework, a missing homework slip will be sent home immediately to let parents know of the situation.  However, if a family concern or illness arises, parents are asked to write a brief note of explanation.  The student must make up the assignment at the earliest opportunity.
