Every Friday your child will bring home a homework packet. (This may vary if
your child is in an "A" day or "B" day class since I don't see them every
Friday.) Listed are homework assignments for the week which may be completed
at his or her convenience. On the following Thursday/Friday, I will collect
the packet. Please sign after you have looked over your child's homework and
can verify that it is completed. All challenges listed on the cover sheet are
extra credit. Your child may complete one challenge each week.
