Miss Hoffman's Third Grade: Back to School

Dear Parents,

I am very excited to start a new school year with a brand new class of 3rd Graders. This is the start of my 21st year at Holy Child Academy and I know it will be an exciting year filled with lots of learning and fun, too.

I enjoyed meeting all of you at Back to School Night last Wednesday. Please feel free to contact me this year with any questions or concerns you may have. I look forward to a great parent/teacher partnership this year.

Sincerely,

Jen Hoffman

Homework:
∙ Homework is given to reinforce educational concepts that are taught during the school day. Also, homework helps students to organize their time between other activities they may be involved in.
∙Homework will usually be given Monday – Thursday nights (occasionally Friday nights too). It should take your child approximately 30 -40 minutes to complete his/her homework each night.
∙ Homework is posted on the HCA website daily. https://sites.google.com/a/holychildacademy.com/3rd-grade-homeroom/
∙ Homework will be collected and checked each morning and returned back to your child that day. If a homework assignment is not handed in, your child will receive a Homework Notification form. Please sign and return the form the following day. The missed assignment will be completed during afternoon recess time.
∙Please initial your child’s homework journal each night.

Tests:
∙Tests will be announced in advance (usually 2 – 4 days) in order for your child to have adequate time to prepare for the test.
∙Tests must be signed and returned to school the following day.

Gym Uniforms

Children will come to school in their gym uniforms and sneakers on Days 1 & 5. In colder weather, they are expected to wear a Holy Child sweat suit over their gym suits. On days when we have liturgies, students must wear their school uniform and bring their gym uniform.
