and what about HOMEWORK?
If students use their time wisely in class,
they should have only small amounts of work
to complete nightly. On evenings when a
student does not have homework, students
should read or write for 30 minutes.
Homework is expected to be
turned in on the due date.
Look for a homework folder to come home
every night. The planner and will tell
you what the homework is.
Please Buy a
Student Planner
Your child will have a “Student Planner”that will come home every day. It needs to come back each
day. It is my way of having daily contact with you.
There will be several pieces of information that will be coming home in the next few days.
Hopefully, the information coming home will help answer questions I couldn’t get to today.
Please…..always feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. Communication is a big key
to your child’s success.
And remember…..
