HOMEWORK TIPS:
1. Take out the homework packet for the week from the binder and leave it at home. The children do not need to take them to school every day until Friday, when it is time to submit the packet unless they go to after school care and you want them to do their homework there.
2. Homework is graded on the following criteria:
a. Correct answers
b. Neatness
c. Timely submission
d. Following directions
3. Make sure your child writes his/her full (first and last) name on the front of the packet. Please continue practicing with your child how to write their name. We still have some who says that they are unable to do so.
4. Keep the packet stapled, in the same order in which it was sent.
5. Timely submission is part of their grade. So please be conscientious in sending your child’s homework at all times.
For every day a student is late in submitting homework, a half-point will be deducted from the grade. The student will receive a grade of zero if homework is not submitted. We will allot extra time for completion if the student was absent due to illness, family travel, or any other unusual circumstances, on a case by case basis. If, however, after the extra time, the homework is not submitted, the student will receive a grade of zero.
6. Thank you so much for helping your child clean up his/her binder by removing finished school work that was sent home. They are doing well in practicing their organizational skill, something they will need their whole life.

Attendance will be checked at the beginning of the class and at the end before
dismissal. The whole class will return
