Dear Parent/Guardian(s):
Greetings from grade 6/7! As the year unfolds, I am writing to update you on our expectations for homework. We believe that students should work hard at school and homework should provide an opportunity to reinforce what they have already learned. Every household has different commitments and homework should not be a source of anxiety for you or your child. The following is an outline of the expectations. Setting some time aside each evening develops the important life skills of discipline, a strong work ethic and a commitment to personal learning.
Reading:
The single most important activity that your child can engage in for academic success in all subject areas is reading. The expectation is 30 minutes of reading every night. Their progress is tracked at school and I am working hard on my end to provide books that kids want to read and can choose for themselves. Your help in supporting your child to create a reading routine is much appreciated.

Grade 7 Science, Geography, History:
Homework will be assigned periodically and usually on the drive to access at home if needed.
Grade 6 Science & Social Studies:
All projects and assignments will be completed at school. Research, when applicable, may also be done at home.
I hope that this clarifies things for you. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns and I welcome your feedback.
Math:
Math will be completed in class. You will be provided with information about the unit that is being worked on. Periodically, practice sheets according to individual student needs will be sent home. The following websites provide fun and interesting ways to practice math skills:
