My Homework Policy


  • Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday. No homework will be assigned over the weekend, or on a night when there is a scheduled school event.


  • My goal is to allow students time to complete as much homework in school as they can. I don't want homework to be a struggle at home and the students deserve a break as well.

          • Unfortunately we won't always have time in class, so please be aware your child's homework requirements may change from night to night.


  • Unforeseen circumstances happen, if your child is unable to finish an assignment please let me know, and we can work to make sure school work is caught up.


  • Homework will count towards the students grades. Students will be asked to complete unfinished work in the first five to ten minutes of their recess.


  • I recommend having your child read at least 20 minutes every evening. Reading can greatly enhance your child's success in the classroom. Please encourage you child to read daily, and ask questions about what he/she is reading!

*I will be sending home reading logs. When a student complete the reading log, they will receive 10 phoenix feathers and a prize from our prize bin!*
