School and district policies require homework and outside reading on a regular basis. Each teacher has a Homework Policy for his/her classroom that meets these requirements. Your child will bring home a copy of the Homework Policy for his or her classroom during the first few weeks of school.
It is very important that your child spend some time reading every evening for at least 15 minutes or more. Make sure that he/she is not reading books that are too easy or too hard. Students are taught to know their reading level at school.
