Homework counts as 10% of a student's grade.  Students should complete any homework assignments given in class, as well as complete their independent reading assignments, at home.In addition, students may be asked to complete other assignments at home if they were unable to finish them in class. 

Parents are asked to sign the Independent Reading log each month to indicate that their student has been reading at home.  This will be checked for a homework grade.

Students have received information about signing up for Remind.com notices by text or email.  Parents can sign up to receive these notices as well to stay informed about homework and other assignments.  To receive 7th grade texts, message "@g7ela" to "81010."  To receive 8th grade texts, message "@engg8" to "81010."

If parents or students would like more information about the modules or materials we are using in ELA this year, you may go to the website, www.engageny.org and search under the resources available for the grade you are interested in.  Please keep in mind that in class we may modify the lessons and/or the materials to meet the needs of our students.
