There will be homework every night. In fourth grade, the average student can expect between 30-45 minutes of homework per night. If you have concerns about the time your child is spending doing homework, please contact me. I understand that things come up and it may not be possible to complete a homework assignment on a certain night, in that case please write me a note and the student will get an extra day to complete the assignment.
Homework is due first thing in the morning. If it is not completed when your child arrives at school, it is considered a late assignment. If an assignment is late, or missing, the student will be issued a ""Missing Assignment Notice."" This notice must be signed by a parent and returned the following school day with the completed assignment. If I feel that late or missing assignments are becoming a recurring problem, I will require that the assignment notebook be checked and signed by a parent every night.
If you know your child is going to be absent please inform me so I can give them their homework ahead of time. When a student is absent from school, he/she has two days to make up their work for every one day absent. This is a district policy.
