Should my student have homework each day?
Homework is given on Monday - Thursday. I use the "Rule of 10" homework
policy, which means third graders should be doing nor more than thirty
minutes of homework each night and fourth graders no more than forty
minutes. Sometimes work is completed in class. However, please contact me
if your child has trouble completing the homework assignments on a regular
basis. If you are uncertain as to what assignment is due for the next day,
please check their student planner or click on the Homework link at the top
of this page and it will take you to a listing of daily work. Additionally,
students should be reading outside of the classroom 15-20 minutes each day.
--------------------------------------
What if I need to speak with you before or after school?
Parents are free to contact me before or after school in the classroom or at
730-7751. I am generally at school from 7:00 a.m. until 3:15 p.m. If you
need to reach me at home, please phone before 8:00 p.m.
--------------------------------------
May I visit the classroom at any time?
Parents are always welcome to visit or observe. Please sign in at the Office
first. The ONLY exception is when we are doing any State or District
testing.
--------------------------------------
Am I allowed to bring treats for my child's birthday?
Yes. However, we do not have individual parties. Parents are allowed to
bring a treat to share with the others in class during the last 20 minutes of
the school day. Please read the School Handbook for specific information
regarding this matter.
--------------------------------------
May I volunteer in the classroom?
ABSOLUTELY! I am always looking for a few good Moms and Dads.
--------------------------------------
May I E-Mail you?
Yes. I can be reached at: rgreenfield@visalia.k12.ca.us. I check my e-mail
each day so I should be able to respond to you fairly quickly.
