Homework is a necessary part of the learning process. It strengthens the skills learned in school and develops good study habits. Assignments should be completed neatly, carefully and promptly. The amount of time spent doing homework differs with each student’s grade level and ability. Parents are encouraged to supervise the time period and show interest. Parents should provide an atmosphere that is conducive to good study habits. If a student has consistent difficulty with homework assignments, or if too much time is spent in their completion, the teacher should be contacted. An explanatory note from the parent is required for incomplete work. If a child consistently claims no assignments were given, the parents should contact the teacher immediately. Please contact the principal and teacher regarding homework/missing assignments due to extended absences.
Because the completion of homework assignments is such a contributing factor to student success, St. Timothy School assigns and expects the completion of homework assignments.
