Homework Policy: We strongly believe in the power of play and the importance of letting children be children. Further, research does not indicate significant benefits of homework at the elementary level. We believe that when students give us all of their day, they deserve to have most of their night. Therefore, we have eliminated the majority of our homework assignments. Eat dinner as a family and ask them how their day was, enjoy your child's extracurricular activities without worrying about homework, and know that your child is working hard at school each day and has earned their evening playtime!
I know students need some extra practice and some students want the extra practice, therefore I will be sending home a weekly packet. Each student will be required to complete several of the choices throughout the week. It will have our weekly math skills, spelling practice, vocab and reading every week. It will be up to you and your child whether you choose to complete all of it or some of it based on what you think your child needs. If the work is completed and turned in with a grade of a C or better, your child will get points towards a FREE FRIDAY! If they do extra pages, they will receive extra credit points in that area.
Please note: If a student exhibits off-task behaviors during the school day and fails to complete an assignment, the assignment will be sent home for completion.
