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 must also complete the missed homework by the following day.

 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.
