How much help should I give my child on his/her homework?
Give them as much support as possible. Don't do it for them, but give them lots of help and prompting if necessary. Homework will always be something we started together in class. I am more concerned that your child understand the concepts we are working on than how much help you gave them. Please remember not to do it for them, but to "re-teach" and support the learning at home. You will not be there to help them with the test, so make sure they can do it on their own.Back to Top

When is a good time to contact you?
E-mail is a great way because I can reply to you when I have a moment. If you need to have a longer conversation with me, please let me know ahead of time you will be coming in so I can make sure to be there free of distractions. Notes work well too as long as your child remembers to give them to me. You may also call the office and leave a message. I will probably not be able to return your call until after school.Back to Top

Is there extra credit?
In science students may do any "lab zone" activity for 10 points extra credit. These are located int eh text book. They must perform the experiment and do a 1 page write up including: prediction, materials, steps, & outcome. These are due by the time we finish that chapter in class. . Back to Top
