Homework assignments are an important part of the learning process. Homework will be assigned to reinforce materials already taught and to foster habits of independent study. Written homework will not be assigned on weekends or holidays unless it is unfinished classwork, make-up work, or long-range assignments.
Our Lady of Lourdes follow the Archdiocesan Guidelines for homework:
Grades 1 - 2 Optional; not to exceed 45 minutes
Grades 3 - 5 Not to exceed one hour
Grades 6 - 8 Not to exceed two hours
A student’s individual ability may require additional time. These guidelines apply to written assignments and do not include study time.
Children are expected to accomplish the homework assigned. If problems arise, a meeting should be scheduled with the classroom teacher.
