Kindergarten                  10 min. per day          

Grade 1                        15 min. per day

Grade 2                        20 - 30 min. per day

Study must be a daily component of homework.  In addition to daily written & study assignments, reading is a critical aspect of each student’s academic growth.  It is the student’s responsibility to copy homework assignments daily in their planners.
