Please check the homework section weekly for updates on assignments and/or projects that will need to be completed at home. Weekly homework will go home every Friday and need to be returned the following Friday morning. I prefer weekly homework over nightly because it gives the students a chance to manage their time. Students will need to decide when the best time throughout the week will be to complete their work. I know everyone has busy schedules with extracurricular activities, so this will hopefully make your week easier.
