Homework is meant to help students develop independent work habits and increase their learning by providing some additional work. It can also serve as a way to build a bridge between home and school and between parent and teacher. It also teaches them the values of promptness and diligence. When we assign homework, our goal is to help your son or daughter become successful at working independently. We also hope the homework will provide something from school that your son or daughter will share with you. Possibly you will be able to participate by finding out about the homework, by helping if necessary or desirable, and by reviewing it so you can see how your son or daughter is doing.

To help your son or daughter succeed, be sure to find out what homework he or she has each day. Work out a time and place for your son or daughter to do homework. Try to arrange a quiet place where he or she won't be distracted by others or by television. Choose a time when your son or daughter is not too tired and use the same time and place each day. Provide support if he or she needs help and try to arrange a small reward when the work is done.

6th grade is a significant milestone in a student's journey through middle school. This particular grade level greatly determines his/her placement in high school. Thus, report card grades and test scores should be competitive enough to ensure placement in a high school that will serve the academic potentialities and interests of the student. It is extremely imperative, therefore, that the student is always on point as regards homework and compliance with all the requirements in each marking period.

With our concerted efforts coupled with the student's hard work, SUCCESS is guaranteed.

Sincerely yours,
 * Ms. David **
