Homework is assigned to students beginning in the Elementary program with the goal of improving their mastery of new concepts that have been introduced in the class. Leisure reading and special voluntary projects are encouraged at both Lower and Upper Elementary levels. We offer children freedom within structure. If a child continues to be disruptive and a distraction to the class, the parents are contacted for resolution. All programs are scheduled for Monday through Friday.
Regular attendance is of the utmost importance.
Excessive absences results in missed large group lessons and thus the inability to continue in certain areas of the curriculum until the following school year. Elementary students are expected to attend 165 school days per year. Consideration towards continued enrollment in Elementary program will partly be based upon attendance. Promptness in a child s life is very important. Children who arrive late and are picked-up late feel awkward and uncomfortable.
