Students should have a quite place to do work at a regular time.
-
Limit music, TV, or other background noise.
-
Homework for all subjects should not take more than an hour and a half.
Tips for homework:
We are working on the magnet middle school applications! We will work on the Fulmore, Kealing, Innovation Academy at Martin, and the Ann Richard's School for Young Women essays. However, there are important entrance exams in January for each and a form with important dates was sent home on November 1st.
