Dear Parents and Students,
The district policy is such that homework is twofold;
1) It is to practice what the student has learned in class.
2) To teach responsibility in taking it home, doing the work, and
returning the packet on time to class.
All homework packets are distributed on Fridays and are to be signed,
initialed, and turned in the following Friday. If there are issues or
concerns, please phone, send a note, or email your child's teacher. All
homework packets are a part of the students' grades. Students will be invited
to FUN FRIDAY when they return their homework packet. Thank you for your
support and assistance on the homework.
Mrs. Gulden
**Please note that our homework packet has a different format. Please contact
Mrs. Gulden with any questions or request for additional paper needed to
complete the homework.
**Homework is given out every Friday and due the following Friday. The only
exceptions are when we return from off track.
