Information Regarding Homework

We ask for your help in further supporting your child's independence and development of academic responsibilities as they target the qualities of a sustainable and independent learner. Please, where possible, have your child print their homework at home. When students report to class and are required to complete this process it can be disruptive to their learning and to the instruction of their classmates. We have shared that printing of homework at home is part of the 'homework process' and completes the student's responsibility at that time. Your support, as always, is greatly appreciated.
