Text Box: From time to time, a subject comes up that gets my attention. The most recent attention focused on homework. As children grow and progress, they will assume responsibility for completing some of their schoolwork outside of the regular class time. Many parents ask why is homework assigned to their student. Teachers give homework because they strongly believe that it reinforces what they are teaching in class and helps students learn. Teachers say: Homework boosts achievement. If a student is having trouble with a subject, time spent on homework can often make the difference between mastering a subject or just getting by. Homework builds self-discipline, independence, responsibility and time management skills. Homework helps teachers see which students need help. Homework helps parents know what’s going on in school. If you check your child’s homework regularly, you’ll have a good idea of what your child is learning. Text Box: Homework - What Parents Can do to Help Text Box: Shelby Public School is preparing for Kindergarten Registration on Wednesday, April 23  If your child will turn five by October 15, 2008, he/she will be eligible for Kindergarten for the 2008-2009 school year.      Please call Shelby Public School at 527-5946 and give us your child's name, birthdate, parent's name and address..      We would like this information by April 1 so we can send letters to you about registration.  You will need the State Birth Certificate with the raised seal and number.
