Homework:
Homework may serve multiple purposes: to work toward mastery or extend knowledge of standards already addressed in class, to prepare for a new skill or concept, and to develop positive work habits. The specific type and amount of homework are determined at the site level. Principals are responsible for ensuring that teachers assign appropriate homework and provide clear guidelines and relevant, immediate feedback to students. Homework shall not be assigned as punishment.
Each student should devote at least two hours exclusive of class time to his/her written and study assignments each day. Students, however, must accept the fact that frequently they will have assignments that will take more than the suggested time. It is self-evident that even when no written assignment is given in core courses, the student is expected to spend a reasonable amount of time rereading the day’s lesson, studying and reviewing class notes and working on long-term assignments. Parents, there is never a time when your student “has no homework.”
