HOMEWORK POLICY:
*Homework is important. It gives you an opportunity to practice your skills at home. You are responsible for doing the work and asking for help when you need it. It is expected that you will honestly fill out the communication sheet, have it signed, and return it every Thursday in your Homework Folder.
*You will also need help recording your reading minutes throughout the month. At the end of the month, ask your parents to total the minutes and sign the calendar. It is due on the first of each month.
*It is very important to return assignments on the day they are due.
