Homework Plan Homework Alerts will be given for ANY missed homework • Each student will start each subject with a 100% homework grade • Each alert will result in five points being deducted from their homework grade (in the subject area the homework was missed) • Homework alerts are filled out and sent home for a parent/guardian to sign • The missed assignment needs to be completed and handed in with the signed homework alert the next school day • A homework pass may not be used for a graded or longterm homework assignment
