I try to give students plenty of time to finish their work in class.

Your child must come to school on


time and prepared to learn every day.

Weekly homework includes: spelling


words (sent home on Monday for test on Friday), 15 minutes of reading each evening
and daily math problems or fact practice.

Your child should have sharpened


pencils, homework that is due, their planner and their independent reading book at
school every day. (There is time to sharpen pencils in the morning).

All homework is due the day after it is


assigned (with the exception of spelling
words which are due on Friday). Late homework will be marked down %5 for each day.
Math folders will be sent home on
Wednesdays to review for tests on Thursdays.
If I feel the class needs more practice
with a certain concept than we are able to
achieve in the classroom an occasional assignment will be sent home.
If your child consistently has more than
10-15 minutes of work (not including their 15
minutes of reading) each day, it probably
means they are making poor choices. Contact me so we can discuss it.

Your childs planner will be sent home


each night. His planner will show the subjects that we have covered each day.
Please check his/her planner daily for
notes from school and homework then
sign in the box marked parents signature
next to each day.
PE is on Tuesday, make sure your
child has her gym shoes on Tuesdays.
Your child will go out for recess every
day unless it is raining or exceptionally
cold, please make sure your child is
dressed appropriately for the weather.
Our Elementary School rules, policies
and discipline procedures can be found in
the student handbook.

My philosophy is that every child can learn


in a positive safe environment where they
are accepted for who they are and where
they are in their educational journey.
