Homework folders:  

Homework folders are sent home on Monday.  Each 
day of the week has a recommended lesson.  The beauty of homework 
folders is that as long as the work is done during the week, it doesn't 
really matter what day you do it!  For example, if Monday says to 
complete a math page, but you have hockey practice, complete the page 
on Tuesday instead.  Be careful to look for occasional items that are due by a 
certain time of the week though. 

Another benefit of homework folders is that parents can modify the 
assignment by making it more challenging.  First I suggest you talk to me, then we can discuss ways 
to make homework more beneficial to your child.  

Homework folders are due on Friday, but can be returned sooner if all 
work is completed. 

Friday folders:  Friday folders come home every Friday and contain 
corrected work and papers from the office.  They are to be returned empty on Monday.  Please look 
over each paper to be sure it's actually your child's paper, whether 
corrections need to be made,  and to become familiar with our 
curriculum.
