We understand that your child has a very busy schedule outside of school with sports, music.... but while saying this, it is important that they spend time on school work each evening. You can expect to see about one hour of homework each night. If your child has more than this, please contact your child's teacher. Please set up a space for "homework" that is quiet, away from the tv and anything else that may be distracting.

What is your role as the parent during homework time? Your child may ask questions from time to time or ask you to look something over, that is just fine but you do not need to correct their work. Let them come to school with errors or less than perfect papers as that is how they learn and that is how the teacher can see what they still need to work on - it's all part of the process.

If you child comes home and says, "I don't have any homework," remind them that the expectation is that they will need to read 30 minutes a night, five days a week. Research has shown that the only way students get to be better readers is by reading. It's truly as simple as that so if you can help emphasize the 30 minutes each day, your child will be all the better for it.

Again if you have any questions or concerns about homework, please contact your child's teacher anytime.
