This page will answer questions commonly asked by students and parents.
Is homework assigned daily?
Language Arts and Math are two academic areas requiring daily practice. Homework is only assigned after I have taught the concept and believe the students have the basic knowledge to perform the skill. At no time is homework practice given that it has not been taught prior to being assigned. Homework is usually assigned Monday through Friday. Howevver, Friday is usually a day for students to make up any work not completed when it was assigned.Back to Top

How can I assist my child in preparing for the NJ ASK?
The Sayreville Public School District subscribes to an internet based program called Study Island. Each September students are registered by their classroom teacher.They are assigned a password. Students must take the pretest prior to working in any skill area. They MUST do this by themselves. This pretest helps to design an individualized program for practicing designated areas of weakness. It would be great one-on-one time with your child! Once your child has received a ribbon, you can then help to reinforce these skills by playing one of the many available games.Back to Top
