Homework: Our grade level team plans units together and considers homework load together, but there are variations. We believe in giving time for homework and for letting children be children. Many students have a tight schedule and because of this we have changed our homework to weekly reading and writing assignments due once a week. I like to plan Thursday nights to be set aside as a family night, so no homework will be given on Thursdays or the weekend except for possible projects that need to be completed. This allows children to start to manage their own time. Math homework, however, will be given Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights and is expected to be returned on the following school day.
Parent meetings: We are usually on campus working until 7:15-3:30 pm daily. We do however have weekly and monthly meetings, especially on Wednesdays. Please let us know if you would like to meet and what would be a convenient time, so we can make sure we are available to you before arriving.
Communication: We are a big campus and calling by phone is likely to be written down as a written message for us. Email is the quickest and most effective method to contact us and we can guarantee a 24 to 48 hour turn around.
