Homework will be assigned daily, Monday through Thursday. Students will
usually have homework in math and language arts, but will be assigned work
in other subjects as needed to reinforce skills that have been taught in
class. The Archdiocese of San Francisco allots 45-60 minutes of daily
homework in fifth grade. On occasion, class work may be assigned as
homework. Homework is usually given +, v+, v, or - (some are graded and may
be recorded in the gradebook). Failure to complete a homework assignment
will result in a loss of points; in addition, the student must finish the
assignment at their recess.
