Typically, homework is assigned Monday through Thursday nights. Weekend homework will be necessary if there are any overdue assignments, or if class work is not being completed in a timely manner. Although nightly assignments change from day to day, students can expect a minimum of one un- interrupted hour of homework; this may include time for studying, reading a just-right book, or journal writing. Long-term projects and papers may carry over to the weekends. Fewer homework assignments will be given on evenings before the MCAS. Parents, please read over your child's agenda book every evening to ensure that his or her assignments are complete. Also, be sure to ask your child for any notices that may have been issued at school.
