Will I have homework every night?

Homework is assigned each school day, and is due at the next 
class, unless 
otherwise noted.  Students are also expected to read at home for 
90 minutes 
per week, and to keep track of this independent reading on a 
weekly 
reading log (signed by a parent). Reading logs are distributed on 
Friday, 
and are due the following Friday.  Long-term projects are 
assigned usually 
two to four weeks before their due dates.

What if I forget to do my homework?

Students are expected to turn in homework when it is due, except 
in case of 
illness or other unforeseen emergency circumstance.  
(Arrangements will be 
made by the teacher to set a new due date for those 
assignments.)  A student 
will earn half credit for homework that is turned in one day 
late.  If 
homework is more than one day late, the student will earn a grade 
of zero 
for that assignment.

How can I keep track of my homework and other important information?

Students will have time each day to write assignments and other 
important 
information in their agenda books.  Homework assignments and 
announcements 
also will be posted on the Grade Four web page every day.

Will I have a snack break?

Yes, we will take a ten-minute break each morning.  Students 
should bring in 
a small snack and drink to have during this time.
