Policies
Change of Transportation: All change of transportation must be communicated through the front office. While teachers would love to be able to communicate last minute changes, we are busy teaching and often do not check emails during the course of the day. Please send any necessary changes to the general Isbell Email account which is isbell@friscoisd.org. We thank you for your cooperation with this matter.
Homework: Isbell Elementary is a No-homework campus. This means that students will not be given nightly assignments with due dates. However, each students is expected to read for 30 minutes nightly. While students may not have an assignment, we do encourage you to read with your child and have them practice math facts. The repetition of these two tasks will help reinforce their learning and strengthen their skills across all subject areas. Students may also be given assignments to complete at home when they have neglected to use their class work time appropriately. Please visit the 5th Grade website for more ideas on how to support your student at home.
Redo Policy: Students, at the discretion of the teacher, may be given an opportunity to redo an assignment for a higher grade. A notice will be attached to the assignment available for a redo which has the specifics of the assignment and the timeline for the redo availability. Students may see their teacher during Pride TIme (7:20AM-7:45AM) to ask questions and gain clarification on the concept. Students will be given an alternate assignment to demonstrate mastery of the concept. Scoring 100% on the alternate assignment will grant the student a redo grade of 70% in the gradebook. Students will be given one opportunity to redo the assignment. Failure to complete the redo assignment within the allotted time will result in the original grade standing. The goal of redo work is for the student to understand the concept and be able to apply to future applications not solely for the higher grade. At no point in time will redo work be given a 100%.
HAC: Please be sure to login to Home Access Center (HAC) to view your child's weekly grades and missing assignments.
