Homework

Homework provides opportunities for your child to practice skills learned in the classroom.  The assignment of homework will be for the purpose of practice, preparation, application, and/ or extension. Per FCPS Regulation:

• Grades PreK-3 - Teachers have discretion in assigning homework, as research shows that homework is not as beneficial for students in these grades as it is for older learners. 

• Grades 4-5 will have no more than 45 minutes of homework per night for combined subjects.

You can help at home by developing routines to establish good study habits. Families are encouraged to:

• Create a home environment that makes studying each night a priority

• Read with your child(ren) a variety of texts throughout the week

• Be an advocate for your child and his/her learning. 

Please see FCPS Regulation number 500-15 for more information. We appreciate your partnership in your child’s academic success.
