ATTENDANCE Regular and punctual attendance is important in order to fulfill the educational needs of every child. The school day begins promptly at 9:00am. Students need to be in their seats and ready for instruction. The education of each child can be seriously affected by absences. Your child's success at school depends upon regular and consistent attendance. Most subjects are taught in sequence requiring the understanding of each concept in the order of its presentation. Persistent absenteeism creates a genuine hardship for a student and is regarded as a very serious problem. Students granted an excused absence will make-up all class work generally within 48 hours to receive a grade.      BATHROOM BREAKS  If a student needs to use the bathroom, the student must raise their hand and wait for permission from the teacher in order to use the bathroom. Bathroom breaks are designated throughout the student day.  Taking a bathroom break during instruction is not allowed since students may miss out on important information needed to complete classroom assignments. BIRTHDAY TREATS Birthday celebrations are allowed during the school year.  Please give advanced notice to the teacher and send in appropriate items in order to serve the treat. Healthy snacks are encouraged. CLASSROOM LIBRARY Our classroom has a library created with the purpose of motivating students to read for various purposes which include reading for fun, reading to practice a reading strategy/skill, or reading to practice fluency. Students will be sent to the classroom library during the following times:     * Differentiated Instruction / Learning Centers     * Sustained Silent Reading     * Free Time     * If Instructed by the Teacher COMMUNICATION Open lines of communication are vital elements in any school program. The relationship between school and home is always better enhanced through discussion of mutual problems, grades, proposals, or programs. We invite and urge parents to participate in any way possible in order to further enrich their child’s potential. Parents may communicate by:     * Writing a note and sending it with the student     * Placing a phone call during school hours to (717) 432-8691 ext. 1500 to speak to or leave a message for Mr. Eyster.     * Scheduling a conference during a time that's convenient for both the parent and the teacher by calling the school at (717) 432-8691 ext. 1500.     * Visiting Mr. Eyster's website at /webpages/seyster/     * Writing an email to Mr. Eyster at [email protected] Mr. Eyster will communicate by:     * Sending notes, letters, notifications, or announcements with the student or by mail.     * Making phone calls to parents to talk about student progress.     * Sending student progress reports, report cards, and/or notes.     * Posting information in Mr. Eyster's website.     * Writing emails to those parents who have email accounts. CONFERENCES We appreciate the interest you express in the progress of your child. Parents are welcomed to schedule conferences with the teacher throughout the year to discuss mutual problems, grades, proposals, or problems. Conferences may be arranged with the teacher at a mutually convenient time and setting and they may be requested by the parent, teachers, or administration. To schedule an appointment for a conference, please call (717) 432-8691 ext. 1500 to speak to or leave a message for Mr. Eyster. HOME LEARNING/HOMEWORK POLICY Home Learning is an integral factor in fostering the academic achievement of students and in extending school activities into the home and the community. Home Learning should provide reinforcement and extension of class instruction, and should serve as a basis for further study and preparation for future class assignments. Students will receive home learning assignments every day, Monday through Friday. If the assignment is to be written, students are expected to return the completed assignment each day. Parents are asked to please review their child’s home learning every night. Older children may have longer assignments, which are due within a few days or a week. Frequency and Quantity of Home Learning Assignments for Students in Fourth Grade Fourth Grade: Daily (5 days a week) for 20-40 minutes These times do not reflect the additional 75 minutes a week that are required to be devoted to daily independent reading, which needs to be done every day MONDAY-SUNDAY. During these 75 minutes a week, parents may either read to their child or listen to their child read. LINING-UP Students will be instructed to practice the following guidelines when lining-up: L ooking forward I nner hands N ice and quiet E veryone's in a straight line The above acrostic poem is an instant reminder for students to line-up correctly. Students immediately remember that:     * They must look ahead to see where the line is going;     * They should keep their hands "in" by placing them on their sides for a straight posture;     * They need to be nice and quiet while walking in line;     * And finally, they will form a straight line by following the stated guidelines. LUNCH ROOM Students are expected to maintain positive behaviors while having lunch in the cafeteria. Parents are encouraged to discuss the following expected cafeteria behaviors:     * Enter the cafeteria quietly and wait quietly in a single file line.     * Speak in a low, soft voice.     * Remain seated once you get your food. No one is allowed to leave their seat without permission of an adult.     * Keep food and wrappers inside the trays at all times.     * Keep your area clean. Pick up what you drop and dispose of any trash you see.     MORNING PROCEDURES As students enter the classroom they are expected to sit at their assigned seats and begin to take out any necessary school tools from their book bags. Students should hand in all homework assignments, sign in, sharpen pencils, and hand in any forms to the teacher. Once students have gotten ready to begin the day, they will be expected to begin their "Morning Work"  as listed on the front board.  After attendance has been taken, the teacher will then review the morning work assignment with the students before continuing with the day's lessons. PENCIL SHARPENING Students are required to come to class prepared with at least 2 sharpened pencils. Students may sharpen pencils before school starts, before and after class, and at the end of the day. PERSONAL POSSESSIONS Students are urged not to bring any expensive or valuable jewelry, electronics, toys, or other possessions of value to school. Any toys or video games that are brought to the classroom will be confiscated by the teacher and will only be returned to the parent. REQUIRED SUPPLIES Students are responsible for coming to class prepared with the following necessary supplies to be successful.     * One Book Bag     * Two Sharpened #2 Pencils (or more)     * 1 or more Erasers     * Assignment/Agenda book (provided by the school district)     * Homework Folders (provided by the school district) SCHOLASTIC BOOK CLUBS Our class will participate in a monthly book club sponsored by Scholastic called "Arrow". Students will receive a book club flyer every month that will feature book selections which range from a wide variety of reading levels. Moreover, the prices are reasonable and the class will earn bonus points for each item ordered. These points will be redeemed for books to improve our classroom library! The flyers will go home with the students, and parents are free to discuss the featured books with their child. Please note that participation in this book club is strictly OPTIONAL. In order to assist parents with book selections, the teacher will make recommendations once a month.  If parents decide to purchase any books for their child, they will need to fill out the form on the back of the book club flyer, enclose either cash or a check made out to "Scholastic", and send both the flyer and the payment to the teacher (Mr. Eyster). The teacher will then turn in the order and payment to Scholastic. Once the order is placed, delivery will generally take less than 2 weeks and the books will arrive to the classroom to be distributed to the students who purchased them. STUDENT PROGRESS Student progress monitoring is an ongoing process throughout the marking period.  Report cards will be given at the completion of each nine-week period. WATER FOUNTAIN USE Procedures for water fountain use are similar to those used when students need to use the bathroom. If a student needs to drink water during the class period, the student must raise his or her hand and ask for permission to drink water. The student will then need to take a hall pass before leaving the classroom. Students will only be given permission to use the water fountain one time in the morning, one in the afternoon, sometimes following recesses, and after coming back from Specials.  Students may also use closed-lid water bottles as well.

Homework will be assigned every night (Monday- Friday) during the school week.

The purpose of the homework will be to provide students with an opportunity to practice skills that they have learned in school. 

On most evenings, students will be assigned homework in reading (Passage with questions), mathematics (Activity Sheet), and spelling. The homework assignments will be recorded in their yellow planners.

It is my expectation that every student will return to school each day with their homework completed. If a child does not complete their homework, it will need to be made up and I will notify their parents. 

In the event that your child is unable to complete their homework due to an unplanned occurence, please send in a letter to notify me. 

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Homework Policy

Fourth Grade Homework Policy :

Homework will be assigned each evening, Monday through Thursday.

Math and Spelling Homework will be given daily, except Fridays and Weekends

Reading should be done nightly.  At least 20 minutes a night!

The amount of time will vary from student to student but will generally be 30-45 minutes a night.

Homework Tips :

When doing homework it is helpful to work where it is quite and distractions are limited.

Set up a place where your child will always go to do their homework.  Have the area stocked with sharpened pencils, erasers, markers and paper.

Setting a timer for each subject area of homework is helpful.  Set a stove, microwave, egg timer or cell phone timer for a certain amount of time and walk away while your child does homework .  We will be using a timer in our classroom all the time so this will be familiar to them!   Let them know you’ll be back to check their work or answer any questions. It is important for them to try to work independently on their assignments. 

Pack up the backpack with homework, agenda, and any notices the night before so you don’t have to worry about what is in the bag on the way out the door in the morning.

Start handing over responsibility to your child, in regards to their school work, and this will make the transition to middle school go smoother.

What’s the Right Amount of Homework?

Decades of research show that homework has some benefits, especially for students in middle and high school—but there are risks to assigning too much.

Many teachers and parents believe that homework helps students build study skills and review concepts learned in class. Others see homework as disruptive and unnecessary, leading to burnout and turning kids off to school. Decades of research show that the issue is more nuanced and complex than most people think: Homework is beneficial, but only to a degree. Students in high school gain the most, while younger kids benefit much less.

The National PTA and the National Education Association support the “ 10-minute homework guideline ”—a nightly 10 minutes of homework per grade level. But many teachers and parents are quick to point out that what matters is the quality of the homework assigned and how well it meets students’ needs, not the amount of time spent on it.

The guideline doesn’t account for students who may need to spend more—or less—time on assignments. In class, teachers can make adjustments to support struggling students, but at home, an assignment that takes one student 30 minutes to complete may take another twice as much time—often for reasons beyond their control. And homework can widen the achievement gap, putting students from low-income households and students with learning disabilities at a disadvantage.

However, the 10-minute guideline is useful in setting a limit: When kids spend too much time on homework, there are real consequences to consider.

Small Benefits for Elementary Students

As young children begin school, the focus should be on cultivating a love of learning, and assigning too much homework can undermine that goal. And young students often don’t have the study skills to benefit fully from homework, so it may be a poor use of time (Cooper, 1989 ; Cooper et al., 2006 ; Marzano & Pickering, 2007 ). A more effective activity may be nightly reading, especially if parents are involved. The benefits of reading are clear: If students aren’t proficient readers by the end of third grade, they’re less likely to succeed academically and graduate from high school (Fiester, 2013 ).

For second-grade teacher Jacqueline Fiorentino, the minor benefits of homework did not outweigh the potential drawback of turning young children against school at an early age, so she experimented with dropping mandatory homework. “Something surprising happened: They started doing more work at home,” Fiorentino writes . “This inspiring group of 8-year-olds used their newfound free time to explore subjects and topics of interest to them.” She encouraged her students to read at home and offered optional homework to extend classroom lessons and help them review material.

Moderate Benefits for Middle School Students

As students mature and develop the study skills necessary to delve deeply into a topic—and to retain what they learn—they also benefit more from homework. Nightly assignments can help prepare them for scholarly work, and research shows that homework can have moderate benefits for middle school students (Cooper et al., 2006 ). Recent research also shows that online math homework, which can be designed to adapt to students’ levels of understanding, can significantly boost test scores (Roschelle et al., 2016 ).

There are risks to assigning too much, however: A 2015 study found that when middle school students were assigned more than 90 to 100 minutes of daily homework, their math and science test scores began to decline (Fernández-Alonso, Suárez-Álvarez, & Muñiz, 2015 ). Crossing that upper limit can drain student motivation and focus. The researchers recommend that “homework should present a certain level of challenge or difficulty, without being so challenging that it discourages effort.” Teachers should avoid low-effort, repetitive assignments, and assign homework “with the aim of instilling work habits and promoting autonomous, self-directed learning.”

In other words, it’s the quality of homework that matters, not the quantity. Brian Sztabnik, a veteran middle and high school English teacher, suggests that teachers take a step back and ask themselves these five questions :

• How long will it take to complete?
• Have all learners been considered?
• Will an assignment encourage future success?
• Will an assignment place material in a context the classroom cannot?
• Does an assignment offer support when a teacher is not there?

More Benefits for High School Students, but Risks as Well

By the time they reach high school, students should be well on their way to becoming independent learners, so homework does provide a boost to learning at this age, as long as it isn’t overwhelming (Cooper et al., 2006 ; Marzano & Pickering, 2007 ). When students spend too much time on homework—more than two hours each night—it takes up valuable time to rest and spend time with family and friends. A 2013 study found that high school students can experience serious mental and physical health problems, from higher stress levels to sleep deprivation, when assigned too much homework (Galloway, Conner, & Pope, 2013 ).

Homework in high school should always relate to the lesson and be doable without any assistance, and feedback should be clear and explicit.

Teachers should also keep in mind that not all students have equal opportunities to finish their homework at home, so incomplete homework may not be a true reflection of their learning—it may be more a result of issues they face outside of school. They may be hindered by issues such as lack of a quiet space at home, resources such as a computer or broadband connectivity, or parental support (OECD, 2014 ). In such cases, giving low homework scores may be unfair.

Since the quantities of time discussed here are totals, teachers in middle and high school should be aware of how much homework other teachers are assigning. It may seem reasonable to assign 30 minutes of daily homework, but across six subjects, that’s three hours—far above a reasonable amount even for a high school senior. Psychologist Maurice Elias sees this as a common mistake: Individual teachers create homework policies that in aggregate can overwhelm students. He suggests that teachers work together to develop a school-wide homework policy and make it a key topic of back-to-school night and the first parent-teacher conferences of the school year.

Parents Play a Key Role

Homework can be a powerful tool to help parents become more involved in their child’s learning (Walker et al., 2004 ). It can provide insights into a child’s strengths and interests, and can also encourage conversations about a child’s life at school. If a parent has positive attitudes toward homework, their children are more likely to share those same values, promoting academic success.

But it’s also possible for parents to be overbearing, putting too much emphasis on test scores or grades, which can be disruptive for children (Madjar, Shklar, & Moshe, 2015 ). Parents should avoid being overly intrusive or controlling—students report feeling less motivated to learn when they don’t have enough space and autonomy to do their homework (Orkin, May, & Wolf, 2017 ; Patall, Cooper, & Robinson, 2008 ; Silinskas & Kikas, 2017 ). So while homework can encourage parents to be more involved with their kids, it’s important to not make it a source of conflict.
