Pink-Slip Homework Plan
Homework is an important part of 8th grade. It allows students extra practice on skills and will help them build mastery. It also helps them build personal responsibility. In 6th grade students should be capable of completing homework independently most of the time, but we still rely on parents to help their child if he or she gets stuck and to help ensure that it comes back to school on time.
Students that forget homework will be expected to complete the work during recess.
While I will handle the situation in class I still want to make sure you know if homework completion is becoming a problem for your child.
For this reason I am starting Pink-Slips. Each time a student is missing an assignment I will ask him or her to fill out a slip. I will collect the slip and keep it on file. If a student acquires 3 slips in one marking period I will staple them together and send them home to you to be signed. Please return them the next day.
If a student misses 6 assignments in one marking period a second set of slips will be sent home and it may be necessary to develop a homework plan.
My goal is to both hold the students responsible for their work. I also want to keep you informed of your child’s progress so that we can work together to help him or her be as successful as possible.
Attached is a sample Pink-Slip so that you can see what will be coming home. As always, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
