INDEPENDENT LEARNING (“HOMEWORK”)
We believe that independent learning (“homework”) should be meaningful and empower children to explore and expand their learning outside of the classroom. As each child's educational needs, interests and situations at home are unique, we strive to balance curricular expectations with individualized challenges. Assignments may vary from student to student within the same grade and class to meet the academic needs of each student.
Students need to review our expectations for homework, please. Getting into a good habit of completing assignments with their best efforts, and on time is very important! These habits become life-long habits.
