What do I do if my child continuosly leaves homework at school?

Before leaving the classroom all students must check out with Mrs. 
Kurdes.  All materials necessary for homework are organized and ready to be 
put into the backpack. If these materials are not coming home, please call 
and I will monitor your child's organizational skills more closely.

What should I do if my child does not finish homework?

On those rare occasions when homework is not finished, please write a note 
in 
the assignment pad.  It would be helpful to know why your child did not 
complete the assignment so we can solve any future difficulties.

What should I do if I need to tell the teacher something?

There are several ways to get in touch with Mrs. Kurdes.  One way is to call 
the school at 732-613-6880 and leave a voice mail message.  Another way is 
to 
write a note in the assignment pad.  As I check assignment pads daily, you 
can be sure that I will see any note you've sent. In addition, you can 
always send an email. The address is akurdes@ebnet.org. I check my email 
daily - I will respond the day I receive your email or the next day.

What should I do if my child doesn't like to read?

One of the most important things your child can do to improve their reading 
skills is to READ.  Make sure the book they've chosen is not too difficult 
or 
search for books that are on a topic that your child truly enjoys.  Do they 
have a hobby or favorite pasttime?  Find books about that and the problem 
may 
be solved.

What if my child doesn't want to complete the reading assignment?

To make this imnportant reading time a little more enjoyable try reading 
with 
your child.  Mom or Dad's undivided attention is always welcome at the end 
of 
a long day.  Discuss the chapter or section with your child and ask 
questions 
to guide them towards the important information.
