Ms. Nordman welcomed parents to Back to School Night to introduce herself as the fourth grade teacher and discuss classroom policies and expectations for the year. Homework is expected to take 45-60 minutes per night, be due the following day unless otherwise stated, and some time is given in class to begin and ask questions. Homework packets are given at the end of each week numbered for tracking, and the school's online portal provides frequent grade updates and information on homework, tests, and projects. An upcoming project will focus on the California missions.
