* As teachers and mothers, we recognize that life outside of school is
hectic; however, please try to help your children with homework. Helping
your children supports their learning.
*Homework will be assigned every day, except Friday. Occasionally, homework
will be assigned over a weekend. During MCAS weeks, no homework will be
assigned, except perhaps a long term project.
*Your child should read at least 20 minutes each afternoon or evening.
Please look at the "Specific Homework" section of the web page.
*Spelling/Vocabulary Word tests will be each Friday morning, unless otherwise
noted.
*Your child is responsible for completing homework daily and for returning
the homework the next day to school (unless there is a due date on the
assignment other than the next day of school). The homework assignment sheet
should be returned every day. PLEASE INITIAL THE HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT SHEET
EACH EVENING.
*Projects will have due dates. Reminders of due dates will appear on the
Homework Assignment Sheet.
*If your child is having difficulty completing a homework assignment, please
write a note on the homework paper. Math assignments will usually be
accompanied by a "Reteach" page that explicitly describes the concept that
the homework is reinforcing. Also, English Language Learner pages may also
be sent home if they reinforce vocabulary or a concept.
Homework reflects concepts taught that day, or previous days, in the
classroom. Be reassured that homework is for reinforcement of a concept that
has been taught in the classroom...it is not "new" information.
