During the first week of school, homeroom teachers explain how a student's binder is to be organized. The student's class schedule is the first page and is followed by an assignment book. All homework assignments are written in this book for the entire year. The classroom teacher writes the assignments for 1st through 4th graders. The 5th through 8th graders write their own assignments.
Teachers check to make sure the assignment is copied properly.
Parents are expected to sign the assignment book each night to ensure that the assignments are completed and to help the child fulfill his or her point quota. Any communication between parent and teacher about homework may be included in the assignment book. Fifth through eighth graders have individualized notebooks for their core subjects. All class notes and study guides are places in the individual binders. Loose leaf paper is to be included at the end of the binder.
