Assignments

be found online and accessed daily.
I feel that
parents are the key to making homework a positive experience for their
children. Therefore, I ask that you make homework a top priority, set up a
daily homework time, provide praise/support, and not let your child avoid
homework.
I am looking
forward to a very positive and productive year working with you and your child.
I am always available to discuss the progress of your child. If you have any
questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. The learning
progress of your child is very important to me.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Powers
