Homework " For core classes, expect your child to have
an average of 1-2 hours of homework a night Monday through Thursday. (at times, Friday)
" Homework is not optional. Homework that is incomplete or not turned in will, of course, negatively impact your student’s grade. Classwork/homework is expected to be made up after an absence.
" If your child consistently has “no homework,” please check our website or contact us.
