Homework
Homework Folder and Assignment Trackers
Each student will have a homework folder and an assignment tracker that will be provided by the school.
Parents, we ask that you review your child's folder and assignment tracker every night.
This will be one of the ways that I will be communicating with you about your child's progress.
Homework Help and Links
I will update this website with links that may help both you and your child with understanding the assignments I send home. I want to ensure that you and your child are given every chance possible at excelling. I understand that homework time may be difficult for some families so I want to make this time a fun time for you to work together towards learning with your child. Homework is sent home so that your child may practice what they are learning in class. None of the material I send home should be new for your child, so I will post links that may help your child with remembering the material.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me!
