Homework Policy
Homework is an important part of your child’s
school experience. Supporting good work habits
requires a joint effort. I will support your child and
encourage good work habits at school. Your child will
greatly benefit from your support and
encouragement at home.
All homework assignments are due the next
school day after the assignment is given. I will not
accept late homework assignment unless your child
was absent the day it was due.
If a student is at school and forgets the homework
assignments or does not complete it, s/he will
receive a zero for the assignment.
s/he will go to silent lunch and then to the
Homework Study Hall during recess and complete
the assignments there.
This newsletter outlines all homework
assignments for the week and any worksheets will be
sent home in the Homework Binder. Lists of words
and stories are on the back of this newsletter
weekly and on the website.
