Will my child have a lot of homework?

Most homework is an extension of classwork.  Most of the students will finish
their homework in class, but if not, they will have to finish at home.  

Always check and sign your child's planner daily.

Yes, there will be some topics, especially in Science, that the 
students will have to research followed by a project.  You, the parent, and
the student will have plenty of notice and ample time to work on these projects.
