What days are special classes?
We are on a six day rotation for Fine Arts and PE classes. Day 1 is Think Tank (computer lab), Day 2 is PE, Day 3 is ARt, Day 4 is PE, Day 5 is Music, and Day 6 is PE. Holidays with no school are not counted, so the next school day will be the next day in the rotation.Back to Top
How is my child doing in class?

What do I do if my child is absent?
Please remember to send a note to school telling why they were absent. The office must have these on record. You may request make-up work after two days of absences. I will list the daily assignments and students have one day per day absent to complete the work.Back to Top
How much time should homework be taking?
For this age child, homework should be 30 minutes or less. Of course, some days may take a little longer if studying for a test. If it is taking your child much longer than this, there may be a problem with not getting work done in class. Sometimes children assume they don't have homework if they don't have any worksheets. But each night, homework should include reading about 10 minutes, practicing math facts about 5-10 minutes, and practicing spelling words about 10 minutes.Back to Top
