Homework

=**Homework**= • Homework is meant to provide an opportunity for students to practice and explore skills and lessons learned.

• Teachers post homework, projects, up-coming tests and other assignment on the school web site on a daily basis. This is to be a bridge of communication with the parents and to promote active parental involvement as well as providing a record for work assigned during absences.
