Again, all classroom teachers have done a thorough job of teaching the classroom expectations to their students. Please review with your children the importance of respectful, appropriate behavior at school. We are in the process of increasing our expectations regarding students and homework. In a nutshell, homework is an important piece of the instructional program. Students, and parents, should recognize this and schedule regular time each evening, in a quiet, well lighted spot, for students to complete their work and do their independent reading.
Most students complete and return their homework each day.
Those who do not are not fully benefiting from the classroom instruction, nor learning at the levels of which they are capable. In summary, we expect each student to complete her or his homework each and every night and return it, each and every morning, to the teacher. Thanks for your help in this important matter. I am spending time each week speaking with community businessmen and women, corporate executives and government leaders, seeking their assistance in support of our school. Sincerely, Jeff 1999-2000 Alexander Graham Bell Elementary School.
