Other computer skills will be taught as children show interest in them. Classroom guides will monitor children's internet usage with the aid of appropriate filter software. Regular homework is not assigned in the preschool and kindergarten program. Occasionally a student may bring home a phonetic reader to share with her parents. Projects that involve the whole family will from time to time be suggested - such as decorating a box for Valentine's day, making a time line of the child's life for his birthday celebration, or collecting 100 items to share on the 100 th day of class.
Homework is assigned on a weekly basis in the elementary program.
These homework assignments are designed to enhance and enrich the learning experiences children are engaging in in the classroom, not as busy work or additional drill work. Parents will be asked to participate with the child in some cases. Parents of preschool and kindergarten students are asked to participate in two parent-teacher conferences each year. These take place in the Fall and Spring. A written statement sharing your child's progress will be prepared by the classroom guide and shared with you at this time.
