​Homework

Homework is an integral part of the educational process, reinforcing classroom learning. To accomplish this successfully, full cooperation between parents and the school is necessary.  Expectations of teachers will be explained through a beginning-of-the-year letter and at Back-to-School Night.

Review of Homework effectiveness:

Daily time spent on homework can vary.  Approximates for grade levels are as follows: ​

                           Grades 1^st and 2^nd                                             30 minutes (1/2 hour)

                           Grades 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th                                       60 minutes (1 hour)

                           Grades 6^th, 7^th and 8^th                                       120 minutes (2 hours)

A standardized assignment book is required for grades 2^nd to 8^th to facilitate home and school communication regarding homework. Students in grades 4 thru 8 are assigned "Study Buddies" in order for students to provide assignments/homework information for one another if one is absent. All class work and homework assignments are to be made-up within one day for each day absent (i.e. days to make-up missed assignments). Tests missed due to absence need to be made-up promptly.
