How much time should my child be spending on homework each night?

Homework should take approximately 45-60 minutes per night 
including nightly 
reading and review of facts.  Studying for quizes and tests may 
involve 
additional homework time.  Language Arts students should also be 
studying 
their Spelling and Vocabulary words for the weekly tests.

Are you available for extra help after school?

Teachers do not work with students after school at the elementary 
level.  
However, there are two recess periods each day in which I make 
myself 
available to any student that feels they need extra help.  This 
time can 
also be utilized for make-up work or study groups.

What time should my child arrive at school?

8:00 is when the morning supervising begins at Mapleshade.  If 
you drop off 
your child earlier or they walk to school and arrive before this 
time there 
is no teacher on duty yet.
