Homework

Our goal at Tointon Academy is academic excellence, every day, for everyone. Our teachers continuously collect and analyze academic data to make instructional decisions and facilitate growth in each student. To acocmplish this goal, we rely on our families to help reinforce academic concepts at home, including: 

• Reading: 20 minutes per night, plus 10 minutes of other content by grade level 
  • Example: For 3rd grade, 20 minutes of reading and 30 minutes of other content. 

Missing Assignments

If a student is absent, they have two days to complete the work to receive full credit. If the student does not turn in assignments, it is marked as no credit = zero. 

Make-Up Work

Make-up work will be provided for any class in which a student has an excused absence unless other­wise determined by the building administrator or unless the absence is due to the student’s expulsion from school. It is the responsibility of the student to pick up any make-up assignments permitted on the day returning to class. There will be two days allowed for make-up work for each day of absence, immediately following the leave of absence.

Make-up work will be allowed following an unexcused absence or following a student’s suspension from school with the goal of providing the student an opportunity to keep up with the class and an incentive to attend school. This work may receive full or partial credit to the extent possible as determined by the building administrator.

Unless otherwise permitted by the building administrator, make-up work will not be provided during a student’s expulsion. Rather, the district will offer alternative education services to the expelled student in accordance with state law. The district will determine the amount of credit the expelled student will receive for work completed during any alternative education program.
