HOMEWORK

     
Homework should supplement and reinforce what has been taught in the classroom.  Some pupils may need added practice in basic skills taught.  For other pupils, homework is a means for enriching school activities started in class.  Pupils who have fallen behind may be in need of remedial, supplementary wok in order to improve their achievement.

It is the objective of the school staff to assign homework in reasonable amounts and with adequate instructions, not as "busy" work.  Parents can support this activity greatly by providing an adequate place for study, in showing interest, and through encouraging the child to assume the responsibility of completing homework.  We strongly urge parents to support this aspect of the school program.

 

Time Guidelines
Students should expect to have homework each school night and weekends in accordance with the following:

Grade Levels

Approximate Time
