School Policies

HOMEWORK POLICY

Homework assignments are teacher planned learning activities which take place outside of the student’s regular school hours. Homework should allow your child additional time to reinforce the skills taught in school, be reasonable and specific, relate to the district’s course of study and relate to individual student needs and abilities.
Homework guidelines are explained to parents during Back-to-School Night and in a written notice from each teacher. Ordinarily, assignments will not exceed one half hour per day for grades K-3, and not more than three hours per week for grades 4-5. Homework may be assigned a grade and/or general development mark on the student’s report card.
We urge you to establish regular “homework times” and a quiet study place for your child. Check to see that assignments are completed, and please contact the teacher if assignments seem to be causing your child problems. Also, with AT LEAST 3 days notice, teachers will provide assignments in case of lengthy absence.
