HOMEWORK

It is our belief that the students? educational experience may be enhanced by challenges which are extensions of the education experiences in the school. The degree, intensity and scope of homework activities may increase with each year in school. To develop a common understanding of our regulations on homework, the following guidelines are offered.

General Objectives of Homework:

1. TO ENRICH school experiences through home-related activities.

2. TO STRENGTHEN the basic skills by further practice and application.

3. TO PROVIDE students who have been absent an opportunity to complete assignments.

4. TO STIMULATE a voluntary effort among students to show initiative and a sense of responsibility.

5. TO HELP students strengthen work and study habits.

All students are expected to do assigned homework. Parents can help their children most by providing a comfortable place where good study conditions prevail. Teachers will ask parents to cooperate by checking assigned work to see that it has been properly completed and signing homework pads daily. Your signature is your guarantee that the homework has been done. Please do not sign if you have not seen the work. Approximate lengths of time to be spent on homework at each level are as follows:

Grade K5 15 min.

Grades 1-2 15-30 min.

Grades 3-4 30-45 min.

Grades 5-6 50-60 min.

Grade 7-12 60-90 min.

This is a guide. The length of homework time is dependent on the amount of "time on task" by the individual student. Parents who come to school to get homework for a child who is ill must call the office before 12:00 p.m. Assignments are to be picked up after school.
