Homework is an important part of every child's learning development.  It allows children to show their teacher their independent abilities and understanding on a particular concept.  The Archdiocese of Philadelphia recommends that 5th graders complete 90 minutes of homework each night.
  
We ask that a parent sign the Homework Assignment book on a daily basis.

If a student does not complete a homework assignment the following will occur.

 1. Each time a student misses an assignment, a slip will be sent home notifying parents.  Parents are asked to sign and return the slip the following day.

 2. Students will also complete missed homework during snack.

 3 Homework will be graded for completion each trimester. Points will be deducted from the homework grade each time a student does not complete a homework assignment.  Three points will be deducted the first trimester, four points the second & five points the third trimester.


 If your child was ill, and thus unable to complete work the prior night, please send in a note explaining and your child will have an extra night to complete the assignment.
