Hello Families!

Thank you so much for joining me and my leadership team on our last Coffee with the Principal. All MAP BOY reports went out in your students' Friday Folder last week. If your student was absent and had not taken the MAP yet, those reports will be coming your way soon. I can’t wait to connect with you again in our next meeting on October 7^th from 8 to 9 AM.

We are excited to celebrate our diverse community of families and this week we started celebrating Hispanic and Latinx Heritage Month. Please look at the September calendar and ClassDojo for the many opportunities in which your student and your family will engage in celebrating the legacy and heritage of our Hispanic and Latinx families at Yes Prep Southeast Elementary.

 

The Southeast Elementary Individual Campus Supplement has been updated on our website. In this document, you can find homework policy, birthday celebration policy, and more. Today I want to highlight our homework policy. If you have any questions, please reach out to your teacher.

Homework Expectations

Homework is defined as any tasks that are assigned by teachers and meant to be completed outside of the school day.

The purpose of homework is to reinforce concepts and skills taught during the day. Said another way, homework should practice what a student learns during the day.

Recommended Time & Daily Reinforcement: Monday - Thursday

Pre-K and Kindergarten

• Read or listen to a book with your student for 15 minutes
• Converse with students about their school day
• Ask them to retell what they learned in Language Arts or Social Studies

First Grade

• Read or listen to an audiobook with students for 15 minutes  
• 10 minutes of math homework

Second Grade

• Read or listen to an audiobook with students for 20 minutes 
• 10 minutes of math homework

Third Grade

• Read or listen to an audiobook with students for 20 minutes

SHINE

• Read or listen to a book with your student for 15 minutes.
• Converse with students about their school day.   
• Ask them to retell what they learned in Language Arts or Social Studies.
• For 3rd-grade SHINE students, 10 minutes of reading and 10 minutes of math homework.

Student Commitments:

• Strive to achieve, work hard, show effort, and try- even if it is hard.
• Talk to your teacher if you need help or have a special situation that keeps you from completing your work.

Family Commitments:

• Allow your student to work as independently as possible.
• Create homework routines that support daily homework time.
• Communicate with the teacher if your student needs special considerations regarding homework.

Note: Please understand that teachers cannot accommodate requests for homework in advance. Homework will be communicated upon return from an absence but is not required for the student. For extended absences, families should reach out to campus administration.

 

Hi families! We want to ensure we always know the resources that our students and families have at home. Please take 5 minutes to complete the Student and Family Readiness survey here by September 30th. We need 100% of SPARK families to complete it! Please take one survey per student.
