Homework Guidelines

Each child is expected to read for at least 15 minutes and practice math facts each night.  Homework guidelines will be sent out by grade level teachers.  Teachers will choose the amount of homework according to students’ age and instructional level.  There are a number of reasons our teachers assign homework:

1.      To reinforce concepts that have been introduced and practiced in school.

2.      To do work that can be done more effectively at home than at school.

3.      To complete work that a student did not finish in the allotted time.

4.      To make up work missed because of absence.

5.      To assist a pupil in acquiring progressively better home-study techniques.

For the benefit of your child, it is very important that we work together in this important aspect of school.  We thank you for checking with your child each day regarding homework, to build in him/her the satisfaction of knowing he/she can handle this responsibility.  Great satisfaction comes from being a responsible person.
