Homework
Homework allows a student to practice skills learned in the classroom. It is assigned to reinforce material already taught and to foster habits of independent study. Homework also is assigned to foster higher level thinking skills. Students are asked to gather information, analyze, synthesize, create, and edit. Parents can greatly help their child by seeing that they do assignments in a place conducive to promoting good study habits. Each teacher will explain his or her homework policy at the Back to School Night held at the beginning of the school year.
