Homework Policy 

Homework is considered an integral part of the program at Middleton Valley Academy. Its purposes are to supplement and to enrich work done in the classroom, to provide for individual interests, to promote competency in skills and subject matter, and to help students use a variety of sources of information. Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday in all grades, K-6.

Medication

Medicine, including aspirin, cannot be administered by the school. Students who need to take medication must have the appropriate form available from the office signed by the physician and/or parent before the medication can be brought to school.

Discipline

It is necessary that children learn to develop self discipline in order to further their learning. We ask that you discuss with your children the importance of and need for good behavior and a good attitude while at school. We will not tolerate fighting, disrespect toward others, obscene language, or destruction of school property. Students who break rules continuously will be sent to the office and handled accordingly. If problems reoccur, parents will be called to come in to help resolve the problem.

Attendance

All children are expected to be in attendance each day unless they are ill or a family emergency arises. Please remember that a written note explaining the absence is required after a student has been absent. We realize that there will be instances when your child may be tardy, but please avoid this whenever possible. Tardiness interrupts your child's instructional time. A note should accompany your child to explain the reason for his/her tardiness.
