(Revised 8/19/2009)

Homework reinforces the lessons that are taught in school, and provides additional practice in order to promote student achievement. Homework also informs parents of current curriculum content, and serves as an assessment tool for the teacher.

Parents: Please use this homework schedule to help coordinate the homework assignments.

Please note: The Jumper Reading Program requires a minimum of 60 minutes of reading per week. We encourage you to save your child’s weekly sight word books so that you acquire a reader-friendly home library that your child can revisit and read throughout the school year.

Kindergarten homework should take approximately 20 – 30 minutes a day. Should your child experience difficulty or frustration, please return the unfinished homework with a brief explanation, or complete the following day.
