As I assign any classwork, I write the assignment down on the board for the students to write in their planners. At the end of the day, I ask the kids to gather all their work that needs finished at home. Your child will be bringing their school planner home each day for you to sign, except for the weekend.  Your child will need it signed in order to have recess that day.  If you need to ask me a question or write me a note, this is the perfect place to do so.  I will do the same for you and we can use this to keep our line of communication open.  Please note that your child will have a “study hall” time that he or she can use to complete their homework, so I can't foresee a large amount of work coming home to be finished. If your child is bringing home quite a bit of work, it’s because he or she is not using their time wisely here at school. Those who do not complete homework on its specific due date, will miss recess. Repeat offenders will have further disciplinary action taken if necessary. Homework can be a great way to expand or emphasize the concept taught during the school day. I appreciate your help with this. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
