A fifth grade student at Most Holy Trinity should expect to have approximately 50 minutes of homework each night.  Homework items include unfinished daily assignments and reading for monthly book reports.

All students have an assignment notebook to help organize and keep current on all assignments. Parents can help with homework by checking the assignment notebook and giving any assistance where necessary. Fifth graders are expected to complete the majority of their work independently with parents acting as the supervisor.
