Dear Parents/Guardians,
Clearwater STEAM Elementary School’s 6th grade teachers would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to a new school year in 6th grade. Through a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math, our team aspires to provide students with innovative learning opportunities that will prepare them for their future. In order to provide students with the best quality of education, we ask parents to join us in an educational partnership that will benefit your child.
In order for every student to be successful, all students in the 6th grade are required to complete homework on a daily basis. Homework is an essential part of the school curriculum. It is not assigned “busy work,” but rather a necessary extension of the school day. Homework is also assigned to develop organizational skills, independent study habits, as well as to contribute to your child’s personal growth. When your child is absent, or fails to turn in homework, he/she will be required to complete all missing assignments in a timely manner. Incomplete or missing homework will affect your child’s grades and other privileges.
The student, parents/guardians, and teacher all play an important role in education, and therefore, have certain responsibilities in this process. The following are a few suggestions:
Student Responsibilities:
The following is an approximation of what to expect for your child’s homework each day. The specific assignments will be written in your child’s homework planner and should be checked daily:
