The amount of homework a child receives is based on research of developmentally appropriate expectations of student age groups. Typically, the amount of homework given at each grade level will be as follows:
Teachers use information gathered from student homework to make decisions regarding instructional pace, re-teaching or enriching curriculum. It is expected that the assigned homework will be completed. It may be recorded as complete, not complete, or receive a letter grade.
Parents should assume the role of facilitator. As students advance from grade to grade, the parent should allow for more independence in the completion of classwork. Provide a consistent time and quiet place for your child to complete homework and make sure they have all of the supplies needed.
At Dos Rios, we will have informal classroom celebrations on or near your child’s birthday (generally limited to 15 minutes). Children who would like to bring treats for their classmates in honor of their birthdays are invited to do so. Weld County School District Six has adopted policies to ensure our students acquire healthy eating habits. Please bring healthy snacks such as fresh vegetables and fruits to share with other students. It is a requirement that any food brought to share at parties is store bought and not prepared at home. Please contact your child’s teacher to schedule an appropriate time in advance for the celebration.
