Home assignments and materials for studing math.

1. Home assignments should be done each week. It is not always easy to make your children work well unless you pay close attention to his/her homework and help if necessary. We will check the homework and then return them with the comments. During classes we will discuss the main errors. Nevertheless, please work with your child at home and check again if he/she understands all of his/her mistakes.



2. A large number of geometrical and logical sets will be used during the school year. Some of these sets will be given to students to take home.
   There is a deposit of $50 for all takehome sets for the whole year. The deposit will be refunded in its full amount at the end of the academic year (or any other time your child decides to leave the sudio) upon returning of the sets.
   
   
3. A significant part of homework consists of the the work with different construction and design sets. You are expected to buy one construction set. Required sets: "Block" for preschool and grade K; "Seva 4" for grades 1 and 2.

Math studio rules and separation policy.

1. Discipline is a very important part of the learning process. We will inform you if your child misbehaves and disrupts the normal course of instruction, and we will inform you of your child's disciplinary problems (if there are any). If there are discipline issues, we ask you to work with your child to explain to him or her that such a behavior negatively affects the learning process of all other the children in the group. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
   
   
2. Please notify us as soon as possible in instances when your child cannot attend the class. In the event of a missed class, we ask you to pick up the homework assignment and help your child work on it (if needed) to make sure your child comes prepared for the next class
   
   
3. We ask that you come on time, not late and not significantly earlier than the scheduled start of the class . We also ask you to be on time to pick up your child after class. Do not allow your child to leave without you. Our studio is located in a residential area. Please respect our neighbors and leave quietly in order to avoid complaints from the neighbors.
   
   
4. Since different students progress at different paces during the year, we reserve the right to change the group assignments according to student's level.



5. If a child does not do the homework regularly, does not behave well, or makes it difficult for other students to learn, we reserve the right to expel him/her during or after the school year. We will give several warnings and discuss the situation with the parents before we do so.
