Regularly, HOMEWORK is assigned Monday through Friday nights. It is up to the teacher’s discretion to assign homework on weekends and holidays.

Suggested homework Schedules are as follows

• Grades 1-2: On average: optional, not to exceed one-half (1/2) hour

• Grades 3-5: On average:not to exceed one (1) hour.

• Grades 6-8: On average: not to exceed two (2) hours. 

These times are based on students who are fully focused on their work, and not distracted. 

Teachers may assign more than the average if they feel it is necessary for student success. 

Homework concerns should be brought up to the teacher first, before being brought up to school administration. 

Homework assignments are given to students for the following reasons:

• To reinforce skills learned in school

• To allow the child to work independently

• To research for class projects

• To review, study, and prepare for exams.

Parent supervision and intervention in the child’s homework assignments is essential so as to instill in the child good study habits and completion of class assignments. Homework assignments must be accomplished by the student and not by the parent. Homework is a very important responsibility to be fulfilled by your child. It helps the student to reinforce learning. Homework is a process to ensure academic readiness.

HOMEWORK SCHEDULE

It is recommended and greatly encouraged that the student follows a specific and consistent homework schedule to do his/her assignments at home. It facilitates good study habits and helps the child increase his/her sense of responsibility.

Regular homework should not be graded since it is a process by which the student reinforces learning. But, the student will receive a certain kind of recognition of achieving this important task. During the school year, students will be asked to carry out outside long- or short-term assignments or projects, which may be accomplished on an individual or group basis. Parent supervision and/or intervention are recommended. The teacher sets grading criteria.

Giving serious consideration to the quantity and quality of MEDIA VIEWING by the children during school days is imperative since an excess of Screentime, affects the scholastic performance of the students. 

Students who do not turn in Homework will be given an Effort Notice. Multiple Effort Notices will affect a students' Behavior Grade.
