I wanted to share our class philosophy regarding homework.
In first grade, homework is completely optional.
We deeply value your family time and understand how busy evenings can be with sports, extracurricular activities, family dinners, and much-needed downtime. After a full day of learning, growing, and social interaction, we want our students to rest and enjoy being kids.
Any activities or materials sent home are simply meant to be a fun window into our world at school. They give you a glimpse of the concepts we are exploring in the classroom and offer an easy way to engage with your kiddo’s learning if and when it fits into your schedule. There is never any pressure or expectation to complete or return these items.
If you are looking for the absolute best way to support your kiddo at home, we recommend:
Reading Together: Read to or with your kiddo for 10–15 minutes a day.
Play & Unwind: Encourage creative play, outdoor exploration, and restful bedtime routines.
Thank you for partnering with us in your kiddo’s education. Please reach out if you ever have any questions!
