4th Grade

St. Linus Catholic School is blessed to have an amazing staff of highly qualified individuals.  Each grade is taught with the skill that can only come from experience and the love of the job. Teaching and working with students is more than a profession for the St. Linus Catholic School staff, it is a vocation.

Homework

Homework is viewed as an opportunity to reinforce newly-mastered skills and more fully absorb knowledge presented during the school day.

  • Students can anticipate an average of 10-15 minutes of work per evening per grade level.

  • If there is an evening of “no homework”, we suggest home reinforcement of basic skills, such as reading and math.

  • Guidelines for each grade level and ideas for reinforcement opportunities are communicated at the beginning of the school year.

Communication

Parents tell us that they appreciate the quick response and many ways we stay in touch as we partner in your child’s growth.

We welcome your phone call, e-mail, or notes about daily happenings or specific concerns.

  • “The Monday Mailing” carries the weekly school newsletter, flyers for special events and information about school, parish, and community activities.

  • StLinus.info/school has the handbook, upcoming meetings and events, contact information, and useful links.

  • Additional informational resources are provided regularly.

Opportunities for Family Involvement

  • Provide review and enrichment activities for skills learned throughout the school day at home
