Discipline Procedures General information concerning our school discipline procedures is published in the Student Handbook. In the Library, these procedures will be in place. • Students will be expected to obey rules of library as explained at the beginning of the year. • Consequences for failing to obey these rules will be identical to classroom consequences. Homework Procedures Although homework will be posted daily on SchoolNotes, it will be the responsibility of the student to copy assignments accurately and completely into his/her planner during the course of the school day. In the Library, these procedures will be in place. • Library assignments will be posted on SchoolNotes. • One of the Trimester assessments for students in Grades 4-8 will be an Effort grade. Students sign the Late Assignment Book when assignments are not handed in on time. One point is deducted for every school day an assignment is late.
