Homework book
This booklet contains important instructions for the homework the children have to make on each subject. It may also include notifications to the parents.
Homework, appointments, pending marks and required materials are listed here. Parents should check the homework book daily. Each week is presented on a double page. A task e.g. on Wednesday in the subject German (D) has to be done until then. If there are multiple tasks for a day, therefore you should plan more time to do the homework.
