Homework is an important reinforcement of lessons learned during our classes each day. Homework is expected to be completed and returned on time. I will try to avoid homework on weekends although some assignments may make weekend homework necessary. If your child is experiencing difficulty with his/her homework regularly, please feel free to contact me so that we may discuss the matter. Missing Work Alerts may be arriving at your home if your child has not turned in work during the week. The alerts are sent home on Fridays. They should be signed by a parent and returned to me on Monday. Your child will have spelling and math packets assigned weekly. These are given on Monday and are due by Friday morning. These are in addition to the regular daily homework. These packets reinforce skills students will be using all year long and provide opportunities for students to practice time management skills.
