Does my child have homework every night?

Yes, your child receives a weekly homework assignment/conduct 
sheet each 
Monday. Homework is usually spelling, reading, and math.  Your 
child is also 
expected to bring home any incomplete class assignments to finish 
each day.

Do you accept late work?

Yes, I encourage students to take home any late or incomplete 
work over the 
weekend.  I accept late work at any time.  It must be turned in 
by the end 
of the quarter for it to count for their grade.

What if my family has to be gone for a period of time?

If I know far enough ahead of time, I can prepare a list of work 
for your 
child to take with him/her.  Otherwise, arrangements can be made 
to make up 
the work upon your return.

What are the District Quarterly Tests? When are they given?

Parker USD gives quarterly tests in reading, math and writing.  
They measure 
the AZ State Standards for our grade level being covered in each 
quarter.  
They are given the last week of each quarter to all elementary 
students.

Do the Quarterly Test scores count?

Yes, I average them in with the student's classwork and homework 
scores as 
part of their final grade for that quarter.

May I call you at home if I have a quesiton?

Absolutely!  I do not have much time during the school day to 
take phone 
calls, but I can return calls after school and in the evening.  I 
welcome 
your calls and quesions.  Please call if I can help!

or the 
last 15 minutes of the day.

last quarters.  We want our students to stay hydrated in those 
hot times!!!!
