HOMEWORK

Students are expected to complete homework each night. Second graders should do their homework independently and only ask for help after they have given the assignment or problem their best effort. In an effort to promote good work habits, students will copy homework assignments daily. Please be sure they use the assignment pad to guide them through the homework routine. All work is expected to be handed in neatly and on time.
