Fixing your homework

I am a firm believer in learning from your mistakes.  I think that if you can find your error in a math problem and "fix it", then you will be less likely to make the same mistake again, like on a test.  Because of this, I have adopted a "fixed-work" policy for all homework assignments (NOT quizzes or tests).  If you earn a grade below an "A" on a homework assignment, you are allowed to "fix" it.

​

Steps for fixing homework assignments:

  1. Get out a blank sheet of lined paper and put your name and the name of the homework assignment at the top.
    EX.  "1-10" will be sufficient for most assignments

  2. Do ONLY the problems you missed, in order, working down the page, with the corresponding question numbers on the left hand side.

  3. You must show ALL WORK in order to receive credit.

  4. Staple "fixed work" sheets to the top of the already graded homework assignment.

  5. Turn in to Mrs. Koonce's fixed-work bin.

​

The deadline for fixed work will be the date of the test covering that material.  An announcement will be made in class and on my website about any upcoming tests and the deadline will be posted on the board. 

School Rules

Tardies
 

You are expected to be on time to school and all classes. If you are excessively tardy (more than 3 times per quarter) to school or class, your teacher will assign you one or more after school detentions. If you are late for school, you must come to the attendance office for an admit slip. Any student arriving after 8:00 a.m. must be accompanied by a parent, phone call, note, or email.  Reasons for unexcused tardiness are the same as unexcused absences. If a teacher detains you, make sure that you get a pass from that teacher before going to your next class. The office will not write passes.

 

Bullying

 

Liberty Middle School has a zero tolerance for bullying. 

 

Cell Phones

 

While it is permissible for you to have a cell phone or electronic device at school for use during after- school hours, it must be turned off and put away during the school day.  Students whose cell phones/electronic devices cause a disruption will be disciplined.  There are phones in the main office available for student use before and after school.

 

Dress Code

 

Each student has the responsibility to dress and groom in a manner that meets reasonable community standards of good taste, health, safety and cleanliness that does not disrupt the educational process and does not indicate affiliation with any group that advocates dangerous or unlawful activities. Please refer to the dress code in the Edwardsville District #7 Handbook.  Some guidelines include, but are not limited to:

  • No hats, sunglasses, or coats

  • No clothing that may reveal undergarments, such as baggy pants or spaghetti strap tops

  • No shirts that display any type of alcohol or drug-related images

  • No dog collars, chains, or wallett chains

  • Leggings must be accompanied by a top that covers at least to the hips

Respect
 

You should always obey the proper and reasonable orders and instructions given to you by the staff in all school-related circumstances. Disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

 

Homework

 

At Liberty Middle School, we expect students to do their best and complete all assignments on time. Not doing assigned work is the single greatest cause of academic failure at Liberty Middle School.  We believe that use of the Planner and communicating with your parents are ways we can encourage you to keep up with your work. You should always write your assignments in your Planner.

 

Attendance

 

Punctual and regular attendance at school, including each class session, is very important. If you are truant from school, you will be assigned one or more detentions.

 

Missed Assignments

 

Assignments missed with an excused absence will be due upon return to school.  You will have the same number of days to make up the assignment as the number of days you missed.  For example, if you were absent Monday, Friday's homework will be expected on Tuesday.  Monday and Tuesday's homework assignments will BOTH be due on Wednesday.  All assignments will be posted on this website, and usually accompanied by a video, leaving no excuse as to why an assignment is missing more than the number of days you were absent.
