Academic Standards
Project S.O.S. (Study! Organize! Succeed!)
At
Estes we will continue to emphasize study skills and organization.
Students who come to school prepared to work and with the necessary
materials are more successful.
Homework helps strengthen skills learned at school and helps to develop
independent work habits. All students at Estes will have homework
assigned every night Monday through Thursday. At times, the assignment
will be to review class work or to read aloud.
All
students will have homework recorded in a homework log. Parents should
check the log each night for assignments and for teacher comments.
Please use the log to comment on any problems or concerns you have
regarding homework assignments. Also, initial the log nightly showing
that you checked it.
Students will be required to bring home their notebook every night.
Returned papers will be placed in their folders. Please take time to
look at your child's work and to discuss it.
Your
child will be learning specific skills at each grade level. Our goal is
to help students become organized, independent, self-motivated learners.
Good organization is one of the keys.
