English Department Policies

The policies below are followed by all RMHS English teachers. These were created by the teachers and will be updated as needed.
Homework Guidelines
  • Homework can be assigned for any English course.
  • The frequency and quantity is up to the discretion of the teacher.
  • Homework may be graded based on completion or based on accuracy. This will be determined by the teacher.
  • Homework can be assigned from the assigned curriculum (StudySync), workbook, a handout, online or other forms outlined by the teacher.
  • Students are expected to use full and complete sentences (unless otherwise stated) that begin with a capital letter and end with punctuation. Text-speak is not acceptable unless stated by the teacher for a specific assignment.
  • The teacher will decide whether the work is legible and complete and may ask for work to be re-done for clarity.​​
