Tardiness

Running late? Check in at the school office before coming to class.
If you are tardy four times, the school will contact your parents.

Why Homework?
Homework is meant to provide a further extension of concepts learned in class.
Third-graders benefit from homework by learning: study skills, responsibility
and organization that they will increasingly rely on in higher grade levels.

How you can help

Make flashcards of spelling words.

Become a reading coach for your child.

Encourage them to do their best.

It is the childs responsibility to understand the instructions for homework, I give large detail on
assignments being sent home. Please contact me with any questions or concerns. Remember, I am
always here to help!
