HOMEWORK
“If homework serves a good purpose and parents reinforce completion of tasks, students benefit by higher grades, better habits, and more positive attitudes towards school and learning.”- U.S. Dept. of ED
Nightly review of class work and vocabulary words to prepare for discussions and tests. Turn homework in on time (during student’s class period) for maximum points. Stay current! Late work policy:
