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…..
