Welcome to our homework information page.
All homework assignments are posted online in Seesaw for grades K to 2, and in Google Classroom for grades 3 to 8. Links to these platforms are provided below for your convenience:
What is the student's role in this process? The students need to form the habit of copying their homework from the blackboard/ whiteboard. Seesaw and Google Classroom are not meant to take the place of each student's responsibilities, but to serve as tools to guide and inform parents. They are another means to connect school and home learning. They will be helpful when your child misses school too. Just a reminder that homework and make-up work can never replace teacher instruction and student interaction which takes place during class. Homework publication will usually be available after 3:30 PM.
Tests and projects and rubrics are usually posted on the class page and/or the curriculum page under the appropriate subject. It is strongly recommended that if your student completes his/her homework quickly that you encourage him/her to study class notes and/or visit the recommended sites by the classroom teachers for reinforcement or enrichment. We are trying to encourage our students to be self-motivated and to see learning as a process. Studying each and every night is a very important component of learning. It enables the students to "store information" into long-term memory.
There is wonderful material on the value of homework and "helps" for parents on the web. Rather than "re-create the wheel" and/or repeat the information some of the websites are listed for your information. These are only a few:
