Team Cowden

1. Jack Barnes Elementary “The Pride” Team Cowden Families, Homework in our school is considered important and is recommended for all students. It’s important for students to begin to develop self-management skills and parental assistance can make a big difference. I do understand how little “family time” there seems to be in our busy world. The homework that is assigned is not intended to exceed 30-45 minutes nightly for 3rd graders.* If there is an occasional problem that arises, just let me know with a quick note in the agenda or an e-mail .
