The best way to get in touch with me is to send a note with your child 
via “Homework” folder or email. You can also email me
(rebecca.walker@stpsb.org) but be advised that I may not always be able to 
get email. If it is very important you can call the school office and leave 
a message. I will return your call as soon as possible.

How much time should my child spend on homework?

Your child should spend about 30 minutes a night on homework. If you find 
that your child is spending more than an acceptable amount of time on 
homework, please call me. I am here to help. We can work together to find a 
solution.
