Homework

Dear Parents:         Please check your child’s assignment book daily. Homework is designed to give students practice with the material that is covered at school, to prepare them for upcoming tests and daily graded work, and to develop study skills and responsibility.  Homework varies depending on the amount of work completed in class.  It is your child’s responsibility to copy the homework assignments from the board each day.  Below you will find some general information about each subject.  Mrs. Smith
