HOMEWORK

Homework is a necessary part of learning. The purpose of homework is to enrich what is happening at school as well as to reinforce and practice SKILLS that have been taught. It is also intended to develop sound study habits for education. Homework consists of experiences, which will supplement, enhance and broaden concepts studied within the classroom. It is not limited to paper-pencil tasks and will attempt to integrate a number of learning options.

Recreational reading, silently or aloud depending upon the age of your child, is encouraged as a vital family practice each evening.

Students should be academically responsible and accountable for their homework. Our policy will give the responsibility to the students.

• Students are required to write down all assignments in a school purchased assignment notebook. (If this assignment notebook is lost a new one can be purchased through the school office.) Assignments are generally given at the end of class and a list of assignments is posted in each classroom.

• Parents are asked to look at their student's assignment notebook every night so they can see any assignments that are missing. This will aid you in keeping track of how well your child is keeping up with his or her academic responsibilities.

Homework Tips for Parents

The greatest support any parent of children in all grades can provide is to furnish a suitable atmosphere in which a child can study each evening. Parents may want to spend some concentrated time at the start of the school year OBSERVING the strategies each child uses to organize the task at hand, set priorities and approach difficult and challenging material. Since homework serves to give teachers feedback about concepts learned and not clearly understood, parents are invited to assist children in formulating clear questions about concepts or material not understood which can be given to the teacher the next day for clarification.
