Homework Expectations
Every night (in addition to daily homework) students should:
-Ensure they have a free read book in their desk or cubby.
-Work no more than an hour. Homework in 5th grade should average ~50 min. Please write a note in the planner if your child worked for an hour and didn't finish homework)
-Read at least 20 minutes
Dates listed are when the homework was assigned. Typically, it is due the next day, unless I have given alternate instructions.
There may be additional homework for students who did not complete their classwork.
Math tutoring is available during carline on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00-3:30. If your child is struggling in math, I request that they attend at least one of the week's tutoring sessions. If you would specifically like to request tutoring for your child on a Monday or Wednesday, please put "tutoring with Ms. Montoya" in SchoolPass so that I can ensure they participate.

Please ensure that students are ready for school in their uniforms. Information about dress code is on the school website and in the family handbook, and please remember that student cell phones should be turned off in the morning, and smart watches should be left at home or turned off in the backpack.
If your student is struggling with cursive, please have them practice at home. Reach out to Ms. Montoya if you need resources for this.
