Homework
Homework is important, not just busy work. Homework helps do three things:
1 - homework will give practice to the student learning a concept;
2 - homework will help cement a concept in the mind of a student who understands the content;
3 - homework shows me where we need more practice and when we understand what's being taught.
All homework will be recorded in the Student Planners provided and should be completed and turned in on time for full credit.

ALA's Homework Policy
Homework:
ALA requires 20 minutes of reading each night for all grade levels. There will also be daily homework to reinforce the concepts taught in the class. Homework and assignments must be turned in on time. Students that fail to turn in homework in the designated time frame will receive a Parent Alert Stamp in their planner. Three Parent Alert Stamps equals a yellow card.
Homework due the day you are absent is due upon return. Assignments missed due to absence will be given an equal number of school days plus one to complete assignments. Missed assignments may be picked up at the end of the school day.
Late homework will only be accepted for 3 school days, and will be deducted 20% each day.
Planners:
ALA will provide planners in grades 3-12. Planners will be used to document assignments, set and track goals, record upcoming school events, as well as provide a means of communication between parents and teachers. Planners must be checked & initialed by parents daily. Planners must be used daily. Planners will be checked randomly for accuracy and completeness.
