    Homework is generally assigned Monday - Thursday each week upon teacher discretion.  There will be no assigned homework on weekends or holidays, unless otherwise stated by the teacher.   Please remember, we suggest that every student read at home 20 minutes a day. All other homework is assigned by the homeroom teacher and is typically in reading and math.
