Please note: it takes about 1 month to get into the full swing of homework we spend our first month learning our loggins and passwords, we work on getting to know each other and complete big projects too!!!
Homework: Please note that details are written daily in student planners. Please write communication notes to teachers in planner as well. We would love to hear from you.
Students are encouraged to log-in to Kid Biz 2 or 3x per week.
Learning UpGrade at least 4x per week for math practice
Remember, students can even accomplish these on the weekend and holidays too:)

What is the U-Neeck Homework Policy?
I believe that children need time to decompress after school, play, connect with friends and family, and engage in after school sports and activities. Research supports homework that allows reflection, differentiation (everyone getting what they need in different ways), and applies higher-order thinking skills.
What if my child is having difficulty with their homework?
If a child struggles with homework yet tries their best, there is absolutely no penalty for not completing it. The student just needs to let the homework checker AND me know by showing a parent signature with a little note in the planner or a quick parent email to me (can use the Class Dojo for this). Please indicate which problems your child struggled with. It is very possible that others will have the same struggle. We will go over those particular problems together/whole class. Then, if it is still a struggle we will do a bit of one on one tutoring, taking just 5 minutes of recess time. When homework is missing or incomplete due to illness, please do not worry. We give plenty of time to make up homework.
Special Note: Homework should not take longer than 50 min to an hour. If homework is long and creates a struggle, please stop your student and contact the teachers for modifications and/or adjustment. Homework should be pleasant and productive. If this is not the case, let's work together to make sure the experience is a good one.
