The homework could consist of reading, math or language homework. • Please check your child’s folder each night! Homework should be placed on the right side of their folder! • Right= Return to school / Left= Leave at home!

  13. Please make sure that you check over your child’s homework and make sure that it is correct. If you see that some of the homework is incorrect, please go back over the problems missed with your child. Homework helps reinforce the skills taught at home. Practice is important!!!!!!! • Reading notes are sent home on Monday’s. This note tells the student and parent what to read. You may see that your child needs to read the story every night. Please make this as part of their homework.
