Fifth Grade Homework and Announcements

Announcements/Updates

Welcome to the web page for 5th grade (Ms. Alcala, Ms. McCullough, Mr. Mulvihill, and Ms. Struthers). We will post homework, resources and announcements daily and/or weekly. The posting of homework is primarily for parents.  Students are expected to write their daily homework in their agendas. Although we make every effort to post daily, please note that there will be days when we may not be able to post.

We will begin posting homework the first week of September, 2018. As we move forward, this will be the central place students and parents may visit to access announcements, links, information, and textbooks.
