Homework will be explained in detail at Back to School Night. The official start date will be announced once Back to School Night is complete.
Homework Folder
In accordance with the AVID program, each student will be provided a homework folder. The folder is to be kept in your child's backpack and taken to and from school each day. Students will also receive a three hole pencil pouch. Please keep the pencil pouch containing school supplies in the folder or backpack. This allows the students to use their supplies and home and at school. Please check your child's folder nightly for important information, school-home communication, homework assignments, and completed classwork.
Purpose of Homework
The purpose of homework is to reinforce concepts taught in class and to work toward mastery of kindergarten common core standards.
