Homework is generally assigned Monday through Thursday in the fifth grade. Approximately 50 minutes a day should be spent on homework. Individual fifth grade teachers have their own homework standards that you and your child should be aware of. Check with your child's teacher to ascertain these. Discipline Lee Canter's Assertive Discipline is widely used throughout this grade level.
Consistency is the key to our effective discipline program.
Major infractions are dealt with in a different manner. School policy states that any violation of district rules will result in time spent in the in school suspension room. This room is staffed with a full-time aide whose job it is to monitor children who have chosen to break these rules. The length of time served depends on where the child is on our discipline system.
