Parents will receive details about homework at our Back to School night in September as well as through teacher correspondence. The elementary school years are the foundation for establishing effective study skills and responsibility. Please support your child in developing these important habits by ensuring that your student has a quiet place to complete homework, turns in assignments on time, and that you check the quality of their work. Praise your child for a job well done for his or her effort in school and on homework!

Discuss homework and current academic progress

Talk to your children about school. (for example, ask: What did you learn today? Can you show me what you learned today?)
