Homework
Homework is sent home every Monday in your child's homework folder. The homewor is also listed on this website. They will be required on a nightly basis to practice their spelling words for the week, addition or subtraction math facts, and read 20 minutes (10 of those minutes outloud). Additional projects will be assigned throughout the year. The homework folder needs to be returned on Friday.
Thursday Folder
Thursday folders are sent home each Thursday with all of the student's weekly work and important notices. Please go over the work with your child. These folders need to be emptied and returned the following Friday.
Missing Assignments
If a student misses school, they will have one day for every day absent, starting the day after their return, to make up the work. Planned absences need to be reported to the office before the day/week is missed.
Report Cards
Report cards are sent home on a quarterly basis. A report card is not a judgment of your child's worth as an individual. It does not measure the delight he or she gives, the humor in those young eyes, or the hope for tomorrow. It measures only one aspect of a young life with so much untried potential. After only a few years of life we cannot judge their lives to be successes nor failures at anything. Please look at your child's report card with love and acceptance of how things are right now. Give it only the importance of the moment - notice and point out the good and positive, emphasize what your child is doing right and build on that to improve what needs improving. Young developing egos are fragile - handle with care and nourish all that your child is and can be.
