10. Bathrooms
Students have a 20 minute recess break at AM and a 45 minute lunch break at 11:40.
To maximize instruction time, we prefer that students use the restroom and get a drink during the recess and lunch breaks. We ask students to develop a routine of using the restroom and getting drinks during these breaks.
However, emergencies happen, and students may ask to use the restroom during instruction if an emergency arises.

11. Homework Assigned four nights per week, M-Thurs

Students who do not complete homework on time choose the loss of recess to complete their work
Please sign the Agenda each evening after checking your child’s work.
