Homework Explanation
Homework is used to reinforce skills previously learned in class. It is also used to teach students responsibility and for the student to create a communication bridge between school and home. Homework is a review and students should be able to complete it easily with the possibility of some assistance from a teacher at home. Your child will never receive a new concept for homework. It is imperative that your student has your support during homework time. Your child will have homework every day!
