    Homework

     

    Students have an Assignment Book provided by the Methacton School District.  

    • Students are required to take the Assignment Book home every night. 
    • The Assignment Book is a great tool to assist students, parents, and teachers in communication about assignments and Skyview “happenings.”

    Methacton District Homework Expectations:

    • Homework should be approximately 50-60 minutes of review/study/reading.  The 50 minutes that is allotted does not include extra-curricular activities such as music practice but does include free reading, flashcards, reviewing study guides, and sustained silent reading.  
    • Parents and students are encouraged to monitor homework and grades through the use of PowerSchool.
    • We encourage you to establish a regular homework location away from distractions.

     

     Behavior and Expectations: “Character Counts”

     

    • Our team’s behavior and expectation policy is rooted in the Six Pillars of Character: respect, responsibility, caring, trustworthiness, fairness,  and citizenship. Students are encouraged to live these traits on a daily basis.

     

    • ClassDojo - ClassDojo is a web-based program that allows teachers, parents, and students to communicate, send reminders, and track student behavior. Our team will be using ClassDojo at various levels this year to communicate and to reinforce the six pillars of character. More information will be sent home in the first weeks of school. 

     

      Absences 

    There are times when students leave early, arrive late, are absent from school, or leave class for other reasons such as lessons, visits to the nurse, etc.  It is the student’s responsibility to check with the teachers to see what he/she has missed. 

     

     Carline/Going home with a friend

    Students must have a note each day if they are going home by car.  The note should be given to the homeroom teacher in the morning.  

    Students sometimes visit friends after school.  If a child is going home with a friend, both children need a note.  

     

    Birthdays

    Birthdays are special!  While we recognize these special days for students, we are not permitted to share food as part of the celebration of the day due to concerns about allergies.
