Studying/Homework Reminder
Reminders about studying and homework:
Studying is essential to good academic performance. Good study habits not only help
your child perform well on tests throughout the year, but are essential for years to come.
Studying should be done nightly as a part of your child's daily homework. Upcoming
tests are always listed in our weekly newsletter so that you are aware of what your child
needs to be studying. When study guides are sent home, a good amount of time should
be dedicated to reviewing the material on these study guides, as well as on other information
they have been given (papers in their subject folder). Please stress to your child the
importance of studying nightly for tests.
Homework is given daily and is expected to be turned in the day after it is assigned.
Points are deducted daily for late work, and this is also reflected in your child's
weekly responsibility grade. We have been having trouble lately with students not completing
their homework. Homework is given to reinforce what we do in class each day. It is very
important that homework be completed. I write homework down on the board daily for students to
copy into their agendas. Please feel free to help your child with his/her homework as you see need,
but let your child do the majority of the work himself/herself. Students need to be able to complete
work and find answers on their own as much as possible. This will help to better equip your child
for work ahead.
Thank you for your help in reinforcing these practices at home!
