Dear Parents,
It has come to my attention that some parents may be concerned that I am no longer posting the week's homework ahead of time on the weekend. Please remember that I am only scheduled to assign homework on Tuesdays and Thursdays.. This gives me a chance on Monday to introduce the topic and make sure students clearly understand the assignment. It also give students an opportunity to work on their other subjects on Monday and Wednesday. On Fridays and the weekend students may review whatever subjects they wish. If students do the work ahead of time or delay and do it late, it interferes with their work on the other subjects. Usually Thursday's homework must be given in on Friday. In the case of longer assignments or those requiring research, students will be given until Monday! Please remember also that the ELA weekly quiz is given every Friday and Religion weekly quiz is every Monday unless I let you know that there is a change .
