Homework Math homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday. Homework is due the following day. Students missing an assignment will spend morning recess finishing an assignment. If it is not brought in by Friday- students will work on it during the Fun Friday activity. If it is still not completed, students receive a grade for the work done.
Daily Homework will also be posted on the calendar. If your student is absent from school, please check the calendar and then click on the individual day's homework. There will be a description that will notify you what pages are to be read and what problems need to be completed in the textbooks.
