Please
check your child's assignment book each day. This is an important link
between school and home. Your child should have both spelling and math
homework every night, Monday - Thursday. In addition there will be periodic
projects in Science, Social Studies, Math, or Language Arts.
If
we can be of any assistance, please contact us at school.

Sullivan, Mr. Phelan, Mrs. Shaw
