and parents in a timely manner.
Guardianship:
Please notify the school of a change in your child(ren)’s living status
(divorce, marriage, death of a parent, change of guardianship, etc.)
The school counselor may also be contacted if your child(ren) might
benefit from small group or individual counseling sessions. It is
necessary to have court documentation on file if one of the
natural parents is not allowed visitation/pick-up privileges.
Homework:
Homework addresses two main goals. It helps students to become
more responsible, and it allows parents to become more involved in
their child’s learning. To support parents/guardians in this process,
each grade level has a homework policy that is shared during Parent
Orientation. If you set aside a certain time and place for homework,
the routine will become easier. Please review your child’s homework
on a nightly basis. In addition to homework, please read to your child
and encourage him/her to read.
The following guidelines will be followed concerning homework:
1. Homework does not have to be an extremely long or
difficult task. It can simply be taking papers home to be
signed or correcting papers with the child.
2. Work that has been introduced and practiced in class is
appropriate homework.
3. Practicing math facts or spelling words is beneficial to the
child at home.
4. Homework for students who are absent three (3) days or
more may be requested before 10:00 a.m. through the school
office. Work may then be picked up between 3:00 and 3:30
p.m. at the front office. If the student is absent one or two
days, the work should be made up when the student returns
