Weekly Homework

On the first day of each week, students will bring home a folder, called the home-school folder.  This folder will have information that will help students to complete their homework assignments, announcements and handouts from the school, and weekly homework assignments.  The folders should be returned to school each day with the necessary assignments completed.  The homework planning sheet should be signed each night, indicating that an adult at home checked the homework, and stating that the student completed the homework.

In order to help develop routines and to review what was learned in school that day, students should complete the following assignments each night (in addition to other handouts/assignments) for each subject area.
