Homework Program

One of the main objectives of the After-school Program is to assist our students with their homework. After snack and some recreation, all of the kids must participate in homework time. Initially, the entire center will be utilized for homework. As students complete their work, areas of the center will be opened for gaming and recreation. If needed, a homework area can be made available until 6:00pm.

We have found that there is always a correlation between missing assignments and poor grades. The students’ grades are monitored through feedback from the school and communication with our parents. If assignments are not being completed, students will be placed on academic probation (no recreation and games), until things improve. With the right blend of guidance and incentives, we are typically able to help each student achieve their academic goals.

Students pledge to:

• Come to school every day ready to learn
• Complete quality work on school assignments and projects
• Meet all deadlines for assigned work
• Be responsible for completing assignments and tests following an absence
• Ask for help from teachers, parents/guardians, or peers as appropriate
• Keep their backpack, notebooks, and study areas organized
• Read for school or pleasure when work is completed
• Follow all school rules and policies
• Respect all school personal and the Outta Bounds staff
