HERO Time: Homework time is an expectation! If homework is not complete, students will
NOT have recess on the days homework isn’t turned in. Homework is a very important part of a
student’s growth leading toward maturity. The added responsibility of taking work home, completing it, and
returning it on time builds character. Watch for homework to be sent home Monday through Thursday.
Focus will now be on READING!
Character Trait of the month is RESPONSIBILITY. Doing and turning in the best possible homework is
responsibility. Being reliable and trustworthy is responsibility. Being accountable for your actions is
responsibility. Following the school’s five rules – RESPONSIBILITY! Do you make up work when you
miss school? Can we count on YOU?
