Homework Help & Afterschool Catch-up
Students have homework every night! 30 minutes of reading and 30 minutes of math practice. We have spelling/vocabulary tests every Friday, so they can also study for this.
They have book projects that require reading the book and watching the movie the book was based on.
After school Catch-up Sessions will begin Friday January 14th. If your child needs help or hasn't been turning in assignments please have them stay from 2:45-3:45. Students will need to be picked up from the HANDS Lab off the small gym. Students must sign-up to stay after.
