Homework/Tests
Most lessons include a modeled class assignment and an independent assignment.  A student will start the independent assignment in class, but not all children work at the same pace or use their class study time wisely.  Most of the work should be completed 
during the day with maybe just a couple of things to finish at home.  
If your child is bringing homework home in more than one/two subjects & it's hardly started, 
then visit with them about what they are doing with their time in the class.  

As far as tests, 5th grade teachers will give at least 2 days notice which will give your child ample time to study the material.  Some children need two days to cover the material and others only need one.  However, there are things that come up within families 
which make it difficult to always study both nights.  
Therefore you will have at least one night to go over the information.
Late Assignments
If your child's homework is not completed on the day after being assigned, they will lose 10% off that lesson and stay in for recess to complete the work.  
I will also send home an incomplete pink slip telling you that they had late or incomplete work.  If the work is  not completed on the second day, 50% will be taken off.
If the work is still not completed on the third day they they will receive a zero.  
This does not apply to children who have been sick or had some 
family situations happen beyond their control.

Always ask your child about their planner and assignments to stay on top of this!!
