Homework
Isbell Elementary is a No-homework campus. This means that students will not be given nightly assignments with due dates. However, each students is expected to read for 30 minutes nightly. While students may not have an assignment, we do encourage you to read with your child and have them practice math facts. The repetition of these two tasks will help reinforce their learning and strengthen their skills across all subject areas. Students may also be given assignments to complete at home when they have neglected to use their class time appropriately. Please visit the 5th Grade website for more ideas on how to support your student at home.
