Will homework be assigned every night?
No. Science will be assigned 1-2 times per week and usually not on Fridays. Students are encouraged to turn in their work in a timely manner. I do realize that some of your children have very busy extracurricular activities. Students will have some flexibility the first 2 weeks of school. After that, they will be expected to complete missing work during my tutorial times. Zero is not option.Back to Top
