Homework is assigned at the discretion of the teacher to reinforce material and cultivate independent study habits. Written assignments are limited to school days, except for makeup work or long-term projects. Suggested homework schedules are as follows:

• Grades K, 1, and 2: 30 minutes

• Grades 3 and 4: 1 hour

• Grades 5 and 6: 1 1/2 hours

• Grades 7 and 8: 2 hours

Long-term assignments should be planned to avoid last-minute rushes. If a student cannot complete homework, a note from a parent or guardian with an acceptable explanation will be accepted, provided this is done for exceptional reasons, and the homework is made up the next day. Students are responsible for noting assignments and completing them on time, as failure to do so can affect their grade.

Homework is typically assigned Monday through Thursday. Unfinished classwork may be sent home but is not included in the specified time allotments. Teachers may provide assignments for absent students at their discretion. Parents must notify the school at least two weeks in advance of an extended vacation if they expect to receive classwork and homework for the trip. Absences without a note are considered unexcused, and work will be provided only as available.

Classrooms will not be accessible for forgotten items after school hours.

Communication between parents and teachers is crucial if a child is having difficulty with homework. Parents should be willing to assist their children when needed, as education is a collaborative effort.
