THIRD GRADEHOMEWORK
POLICYThe students will be given homework Monday through
Thursday. Homework is a reinforcement of our daily class lessons. Homework is expected to be turned in the
following morning. If a student turns in an assignment late, he/she will be expected to make it up.
*Late homework will not be accepted after two days and will become a zero.
*Please do not drop off any assignments that your child left home! Responsibility = Accountability!
If a student is absent from school, they have two days from the day they return to complete missing homework.

WHAT ARE THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS?
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). Created by teachers,
parents, education experts and others from across the country, the Standards provide clear, consistent
expectations for what students should be learning at each grade in order to be prepared for college
and career.
