Homework Policy • The students will have homework in Math and Reading every night. This will consist of both reinforcement and skill building activities. (For example D.E.A.R. time in Reading and fact review in Math). • All homework is written in a planner provided by the school. It will be reviewed and signed each day by Mrs. Hamel. Please you’re your child’s planner every night. This is how I know that you are aware of the daily homework and upcoming tests and projects. • Homework is a grade and is a percentage in a student’s final semester grade. If a child misses a homework assignment, they will bring home a missing homework slip that is signed by me, the student, and then a parent.
