We urge all parents to take an active interest in their child’s homework. It is the responsibility of the student to see to it that assignments are properly written down in the Agenda Planner and are completed on time. (Use of Agenda Planners is mandatory for Grades 2-8). All students are expected to contact the teacher if problems arise. Parents are asked to monitor the child’s efforts in this regard. Concerns relative to homework must be immediately addressed to the teacher who assigned the homework.

In recognition of the role of parents as primary educators, and in recognition of the school’s philosophy with respect to the value of quality family time outside of regular school hours, homework is not assigned on the weekends except in the following cases:  

• Unfinished class work may be assigned as homework where the student was able to finish the work in class, but did not do so.  

• Make-up work may be assigned over the weekend in the case of student absence. 

• Previously assigned homework which was not completed due to student’s absence on the date it was originally given will be assigned as weekend homework. 

The time spent on homework should be appropriate to the grade level.
