JRMS HOMEWORK
CENTER
Click Here for a Permission Slip
Beginning Monday the 3rd of October!
The purpose of the program is
to provide a quiet place where students can do homework, study for upcoming
tests and quizzes, work on long term projects, and get assistance with all of
their tasks. Two teachers will be present to help students organize materials,
check homework agendas, assist in understanding the subject matter, and prepare
for tests by helping to create study guides and quizzing students on the
material. Pairs of students enrolled in the 7th grade Peer Partner Program will
be encouraged to attend the Homework Center together, as well as students
working on group projects. This will give students a time to work with their
group members after school.
How do students sign up?
The homework center will run on
a first come, first serve basis. We will accept a maximum of 20 students per
day. A sign-up sheet with twenty openings will be posted outside the main
office. Each Friday, sign-up sheets for the following week will be posted, and
students can sign up at any time. As soon as the twenty openings are filled,
the sign-up sheet will be taken down. If a student signs up and then determines
that he/she cannot attend, he/she must notify the teachers as soon as possible
to allow other students to take the opening. Students will be required to present
teachers with a signed permission slip on the first homework center session
that they attend. Students only need to submit a permission slip on their first
homework center session. The permission slips will be kept on file.
Do students have to come every
day?
No. Students should only sign
up when they want assistance with specific assignments or have homework to
complete.
When and where will the
homework center run?
The homework center will run
after school from 3:45 – 5:15 pm on Mondays and Wednesdays in the library.
Students are not permitted to leave before 5:15. If they cannot stay the whole
time, they should not attend that day. Students must be in the library by 3:45
with all of their materials and ready to work. The homework center will not meet
on minimum days. Students MUST be picked up no later than 5:15 pm outside the
library doors.
What should students bring
to the homework center?
Students should come prepared
with their student planner, class binders, pens and pencils, teacher handouts,
and homework assignments. Students will not be allowed to go back to their
lockers. Items that will be available for student use: computers with internet
