A telephone call, memo, or visit to school may avoid a problem or misunderstanding. If a visit is preferred, please call the school office to schedule an appointment with your child's teacher. Parents are invited to visit their child's classroom on identified school days. Should there be a need for an additional visit, please contact the principal. Items to be delivered to children such as lunches, instruments, books, and sneakers should be taken to the School Office for delivery to the classrooms by office staff.
Homework is given to extend and reinforce what is taught in the classroom.
The current homework regulations suggest that homework be given to pupils in grades Kindergarten through eight. On any given night, homework should not exceed thirty minutes in grades Kindergarten through three, one hour in grades four through six, and two hours in grades seven and eight. At all levels, independent reading should be done nightly. Conducted informally but purposefully, the parent-teacher conference provides the parent and the teacher an opportunity for full exploration of a student's progress and behavior. Specific arrangements for the conference will be made by the school.
