Homework

You can help your child to be successful in the following ways:

• Remind your children that homework is intended to reinforce what was learned in school. Don't let it become a source of frustration. Ask Mrs. Collins for help if you don't understand something. Just do your personal best.

• Establish homework as a priority for your child.

• Try to provide a quiet place to do homework.

• Set a routine for doing homework.

• Take a break if your brain feels full....but make sure to return to your work.

• Contact me if your child is struggling with homework; homework should take no more than 50 minutes, including silent reading time.

General Tips:

• Homework should be neat and turned in on time.

• All assignments must have the correct heading.

• All Math should be completed in pencil.

• All work should be completed by the student. Parents may check that it is complete and make suggestions for improvement.

Late Homework:

• Points will be taken off graded assignments.

• A conference may need to be set up if a student is consistently late handing in their homework.
