Welcome to the Homework section of my website for the 2008-2009 school
year. The Homework section is designed to help both students and parents be
consistently aware of the daily homework assignments. This year Cherry
Chase
students were given a daily homework assignment book to help them keep track
of their homework. In the event that students forget to take home the
homework assignment book, my website can be a useful back-up for them.
Please
be sure to write your signature in the assignment book daily so that I know
you are aware that your child has successfully completed the homework.
Homework usually will not be given on Fridays.
