In an effort to support parents and to increase two-way communication about homework, we invite all parents to attend a presentation called

“How to Better Understand and
Help Your Child with Homework.”

Homework is an important part of school life,
and we want to work with parents and their children to better understand the school task of homework.

Mrs. Jaffe, Mr. Daley, Ms. Stone, Mrs. Lisano and Ms. Greene
will present this parent workshop
in partnership with the principal, Ellen Johnson.
We think this workshop will be meaningful for parents
and we look forward to your attendance.
