All students are expected to complete their homework assignments on time. Homework for each grade level is posted on SchoolSpeak and/or Google Classroom on a daily basis.
Holy Angels School follows Archdiocesan guidelines for the amount of homework given.
Note: Long-term projects and classroom assignments not completed that day may also be given for homework and are in addition to the regular time allotment.
Kindergarten - 10 minutes
Grades 1 & 2 - 20 minutes
Grades 3 & 4 - 30-45 minutes
Grades 5 & 6 - 45-60 minutes
Grades 7 & 8 - 60-90 minutes
It is the belief of the Holy Angels faculty that the assigning of homework is an essential part of the basic education offered by Holy Angels School. It is, therefore, extremely important that homework be finished in the required amount of time and be done to the best of the student’s ability. It is also expected that the parent will oversee this work, be aware of the due date, and encourage the child to study for all tests or exams. If homework assignments are not met, the following consequences will prevail:
Grade 1:
The first offense will result in a warning to the child and the homework will be made up at school. Parents will be notified.
The second offense will result in students completing work in the office. Parents will be contacted for a conference.
Grade 2:
The first time, student will make up work at school on his or her own time.
The second time, the teacher will contact the parent.
The third time, the teacher will have a conference with a parent.
Grades 3 and 4:
The first offense will result in a warning to the child and the homework must be made up. Parents are notified through SchoolSpeak regarding the missing assignment. Points will be deducted from the grade.
If missing homework becomes a habitual offense, a conference with the teacher and parent, and possibly the principal, will be required.
Grade 5:
First assignment in any subject area incomplete or missing: An oral warning will be given and assignment must be made up.
Second assignment incomplete or missing: No small recess. Assignment must be made up in the office.
Third assignment incomplete or missing: No big recess. Assignment must be made up in the office.
Fourth assignment incomplete or missing: A parent conference will be mandatory. Assignment grade lowered one grade point. Assignment must be made up.
Fifth and subsequent assignments incomplete or missing will be handled by conferring with the parents, teacher and principal. All assignments must be made up. Grades will be lowered accordingly.
