Daily Needs

  (i.e. away from TV viewing or distracting siblings).

Homework Policy

- Your child is expected to read for 20 minutes daily. (Yes, even on weekends). This could be reading to themselves, or to someone else. This can include books, educational magazines, articles online, and iReady reading minutes.
- Items not completed during class time will be sent home to be completed promptly and turned in the next school day.
- Other homework may be assigned periodically, with notice to be completed in a timely manner.
- I have a relaxed homework policy. If something comes up, or your child has had a busy day, I understand that. However, school work should be completed as promptly as possible.
- Frequently unfinished homework and classwork may impact your child's GLO marks as well as their progress in achieving the learning goals. Thank you for your at-home support!
