Frequently Asked Questions: This page contains answers to common questions of students and parents.
How long should I spend on homework?
Typically students should spend a total of sixty minutes on both mathematics and language arts homework. Though there will be nights when the required assignments will take slightly more time, you should stop working once you have spent more than one hour ten minutes completing the day's tasks. Should this occur, your parent must write a note in your planner indicating the amount of time you spent on homework. This will allow me to adjust my assignments if necessary. Please know that there will be days when your homework will be extremely minimal and should not take you long at all. I do expect my language arts students to read nightly. This time does not count as part of your homework allotment.Back to Top

What if I am absent from class?
If you are absent from class, please check your planner to see the assignment for the day. If you are unable to complete the assignment, you will have an extra day for each day you are out to complete it. If you have a friend who lives nearby, please have them stop in and collect anything you might need. Upon your return, if you did not pick up any homework, look in the appropriate basket. All extra worksheets for the day are placed there. If you know you are going to be out for an extended period of time, please inform not only me, but the nurse's office as well x7620Back to Top
