practice papers and graded work. Please review papers
with your child and return the folder empty at the
beginning of each week day.
 Homework Folder: As an organizational piece, we added a
Homework Folder in the binders. Students can slip in and
take out their daily homework easily without fussing with the
rings.
Homework Policy
 Homework should be recorded by the student in
their assignment book. If there is no homework
