WAKE Up & Read Book Drive
February 1 – March 9 Cary Elementary is excited to be participating in the WAKE Up and Read book drive again this year! Donated books will be distributed to children across Wake County to build home libraries. There will be book collection boxes in the school lobby during the month of February and we ask that you donate new or gently used books appropriate for children birth – 12 years. If you need guidance on specific titles, WAKE Up and Read has Wish Lists with Quail Ridge Books, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon. The shared goal is to ensure that more children from low-income families have the tools and resources they need to become lifelong readers and learners. Working together, we can build stronger students and a stronger community. To learn more, visit www.wakeupandread.org. 
While it is bitter outside, thanks everyone for keeping the CES environment warm. Nice work this morning carpool gang!
And the extra folks who came out to "chill" with us are also appreciated

Cary Elementary Homework Plan
At Cary Elementary we believe homework is an important part of the educational program. Homework should be purposeful and an extension of the classroom instruction. Homework is a tool for practicing taught skills, reinforces responsibility, and can serve as a method of communicating learning to parents. Wake County policy 5510 is followed. Homework is assigned on a regular basis with the exception of weekends unless it is a long-term project with which a time line has previously been established. Regular completion of homework is expected and those having difficulty with submitting completed work in a timely manner will have it documented in the work habits section of the progress report. Following standards based grading procedures, homework is not graded for the purpose of adding to a subject grade on the progress report, but can contain feedback for the student and parent. Students develop and work at different rates and a variety of activities are conducted to accommodate this. Established times are a guide and represent average nightly completion times for an on-task student. Consistent independent reading is important and is included in the times below. Kindergarten – 15 minutes 1st grade – 20 minutes 2nd grade – 30 minutes 3rd grade – 45 minutes 4th grade – 50 minutes 5th grade – 50 minutes |
