PARENTS: PLEASE HAVE YOUR CHILD READ EVERY NIGHT. THEY ARE ALL IMPROVING
BUT THE RE-INFORCEMENT WILL PAY DIVIDENDS. I WILL ADVANCE THEM TO THE NEXT
LEVEL-BOOK WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO READ THE LAST SEVERAL PAGES OF THE BOOK.
THEY MUST READ THESE PAGES WITHOUT HAVING TO SOUND OUT THE WORD, READ
SMOOTHLY AND WITH EXPRESSION.
PARENTS, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND HELP!
WE'RE HAVING A GREAT YEAR AND YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!
PURPOSE FOR HOMEWORK (Taken from Bethany Christian Academy Homework Policy
Sheet, as stated in handbook.
Homework has a two-fold purpose:
1. to provide support, practice, and re-enforcement of classroom
instruction in order to allow the student to master necessary information
and concepts at each grade level
2. to develop a sense of responsibility and accountability

EACH STUDENT WILL HAVE ONE HOMEWORK/COMMUNICATION FOLDER. THE FOLDER IS SENT
HOME AND RETURNED ON A DAILY BASIS. PARENTS SHOULD CHECK THE FOLD EACH NIGHT
FOR ANY COMMUNICATION FROM THE TEACHER OR THE OFFICE. THE TEACHER WILL CHECK
