HOMEWORK
POLICY
Rationale for assigning homework:
Homework is important because it teaches responsibility and helps students develop good study habits. In addition, homework helps to reinforce lessons that have been learned in class, and helps prepare students for upcoming lessons and tests.
Homework expectations:
Usually, homework should not take more than 90 minutes a night. This should include studying spelling and vocabulary words, independent reading, and studying math formulas and facts. This can significantly help your child‘s performance on tests.
Please encourage your child to do his/her best work. Homework should be neat. All written work should be done in blue or black pen. Math work should always be done in pencil.
When is homework assigned?
Homework is assigned every Monday through Thursday. While homework will not be assigned on most Fridays, students may require additional time to complete projects over the weekend for example Math Forms.
Expectations for turning in homework late:
If for some reason (sickness, emergencies, etc.) a student is unable to complete homework, please write a note, and the assignment will be excused until the next day or longer if needed. However, please do not write a note asking for more time to complete an assignment if the reason is due to lack of materials, or because your child left their homework at school. Please remember, this hurts your child in the long run because it sends the message that it is okay not to pay attention when we are going over homework. When students face the consequences of their actions it helps to prepare them to become more responsible, independent workers in the future. (I know this is difficult but it has shown to be successful.)
