Homework Policy
It is important that students practice the skills learned in class to master them. Reinforcement of basics is crucial to applying higher level skills. I recommend that parents establish a routine that involves having a quiet place for their child to complete homework. Reading every day is extremely vital for your child’s progress. They will learn the importance of reading by understanding, tracking, distinguishing words from letters, and learn how sentences begin and end. All of this can be gained while reading themselves or having someone read to them. Please make sure you sign each day your child's AVID monthly signature page.
First grade students receive a packet at the beginning of week and it is to be returned at the end of the week. Usually, it is a Monday through Friday schedule. If the school week begins on a Tuesday due to holiday, then packets will be sent home on that day. Please feel free to call or write me a note if you have any questions throughout the year. Once the routine is established, it becomes easy for students to develop good study habits and ensure academic success.
