Please review the homework expectations. Place the cursor on the 'homework assignment' tab and click on the desired subject to print homework or missing assignments.
Why do I assign homework? In my opinion, homework is a valuable part of each student’s learning experience. Through homework, responsibility is learned, skills are reinforced, and the importance of school is stressed.
When will homework be assigned? Homework will be assigned every Monday. Students will receive a Spelling List and Tic-Tac-Toe, Reading Log, and IXL each week. The Spelling will be due on Friday. The Read Log and IXL will be due the following Monday.
What are your child’s homework responsibilities? I expect each child to do their best on each homework assignment. I expect homework to be neat and done in pencil. I expect homework to be completely finished by the date it is due.
What will happen if assignments are not completed? If students choose not to do their homework, they will lose certain classroom privileges and will not be able to participate in certain school activities. If missing homework assignments persist, a conference will be requested and a homework contract will be put in place and signed by the student, parent, and teacher.
What about legitimate excuse for not completing a homework assignment? If there is a legitimate reason why a student is unable to complete the assignment, simply write a note for me explaining the reason and I will allow the student to turn in the assignment at a later date.
What are parents’ homework responsibilities? Parents are the key to making homework a positive experience for their children. Therefore, I ask that parents make homework a top priority at home, provide necessary supplies and a quiet homework environment, set aside time every day when homework is to be done, provide praise and support, not allow children to avoid doing their homework, and contact me if a problem arises.
