Q. How much homework will my child receive?
A. Although student work rates vary in the 6th grade, each child should be spending about 15 minutes per period on HW each night. This can include silent reading, or studying for tests.
Q. Is homework ever assigned over the weekend?
A. No, homework will not be assigned over the weekend. Some students prefer to study for tests or complete their independent reading over the weekend.
Q. How will I receive progress about my child?
A. You can check your child's progress on ParentVue. You will be able to see grades on projects, quizzes and tests.
Q. How can I help my child at home?
A. Read, read, read. Reading with or to your child is an excellent way to help promote both fluency and comprehension. Also, ask to see your child's homework when he/she is finished, is it neat/correct? Help pace your child's current event report and look for news articles together.
Q. If my child is absent, how much time does he/she get to complete missed work?
A. For each day missed due to an absence, a student gets the same number of days to complete the missed work. For example, if a child is absent on Monday and Tuesday, that student would get two days (Wed. and Thur.) to complete the work and it would be due on Friday.
