 Who will teach my classes?
Fifth grade is departmentalized.  This means that Ms. Grimason will teach 
all of the language arts (reading, writing, grammar) and social studies 
classes, and Miss Leek will teach all of the math and science classes.  Each 
teacher will teach spelling and penmanship to her homeroom class.

You will have a reasonable amount of homework each school day. Long-term 
projects are assigned usually two to four weeks before their due dates.

 What are the consequences for missing homework?
Homework is an important part of your child’s learning process as it 
reinforces what is learned in school each day and is often a part of class 
discussion on the day that it is due. You will receive a note for your 
parents to sign for each missing assignment.  You will also have to complete 
the assigned work during recess.
