All Placerita students were given a student planner on their first day of school.  Please review the planner with your student because the first 18 pages contain important information about the school and the pages at the end contain useful study skills tips.  In all academic classes, the teacher will ask your child to take out the student planner to write down that night’s homework.  If there is no homework, your child should write N.H.  You may check the planner nightly to make sure that your child is completing all of the homework. 

If you’re worried that your child may not be writing down all of the homework, you can ask him/her to see the teacher after class and the teacher will initial the daily homework assignment.  Please remember that it is your child’s responsibility to write down the assignment, complete the assignment, and turn in the assignment on time.  We believe that the student planner is an invaluable communication tool between school and home.  Please use it to monitor your child’s homework on a regular basis.  We find that students who use the student planner regularly are successful at Placerita. 

HOW CAN MY CHILD GET HELP WITH HOMEWORK?

If your child needs help with homework, he/she should attempt to see the teacher before or after school.  Encourage your child to get the phone numbers of “study buddies,” students in each class who he/she can call for help.  If you would like your child to have a quiet place to complete homework after school, the library is open until 3:15.
