and what about HOMEWORK? Homework is expected to be turned in on the due date. 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. 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…..
