When will homework be assigned?
Homework is usually assigned on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. Many students complete homework in class under my supervision/with my assistance. However, assignments should take students approximately 50 minutes to complete, not including studying for tests and working on projects. Study guides for social studies are usually sent home at least 2 nights prior to tests.Back to Top
