Overview
The purpose of homework for students is to
foster their development of academic skills, concepts, and personal
responsibility.
The guiding principles embedded in this
policy are:
Homework assignments should improve student
learning by reinforcing skills and concepts.
Homework assignments should develop
personal responsibility.
Each child should be able to do the
majority of their homework independently.
Parents should be able to assist their
child with homework when necessary.
Homework practices should be consistent
within a grade level.
Homework practices should build from one
grade level to the next.
It is expected that assigned homework will
be completed, and there will be a classroom process to check on the homework
completion.
