There are five teachers on the fifth grade faculty. The fifth grade students are evaluated on the A, B, C, D, F grading system. It is our belief that homework should be a time when children practice and reinforce lessons taught during the school day. Parents should understand that homework encourages independence and creativity.
Parents can provide helpful home atmospheres that encourage their child to do their best.
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.
