Each teacher is at liberty to assign homework to reinforce class instruction, and may consist of unfinished class work, extra drill or practice, or assignments intended for out-of-class work. Homework is to be completed on time. Completing all homework is important not only so students can get academic benefits from doing the work, but also to teach students the biblical principles of responsibility and quality workmanship. Students who fail to complete their assignments are subject to the following academic penalties:

• On the first day a student attends class without a completed assignment the student may complete and submit the assignment with a 10-point deduction the following day.
• On the second day a student attends class without a completed assignment the student may complete and submit the assignment with a 20-point deductionthe following day.
• On the third day a student attends class without a completed assignment the student may complete and submit the assignment with a 30-point deduction the following day.
• On the fourth day a student attends class without a completed assignment the student will receive a zero for the assignment grade.  The student is still required to complete the assignment.

Teachers will confer with the administration regarding students who have an excessive number of incomplete homework assignments. Efforts will be made to correct the problem in consultation with the students and their parents.
