• Your child will write all homework assignments in this notebook daily before the end of the school day.
•
There will be homework every night unless the words
“NO HOMEWORK” are written.
• Homework notebooks must go home every day and must be returned the next school day.
•
Parents/Guardians are asked to look over completed homework with their child each evening or morning.
•
The notebook requires a parent/guardian signature. Your signature indicates that you have seen your child’s completed homework assignments.

•
If the work is NOT DONE, do not sign.
• In other words, if homework is not completed, there should be no signature. However, parents/guardians may want to use this space to communicate with the teacher and vice versa.
•
The homeroom teacher checks each notebook at the beginning of each day.
• If your child’s homework is not completed it will need to be done the next night.
•
Thank you for your help and support in building a sense of responsibility regarding homework.
