Homework Policy

Students may have nightly homework. Different classes have different workloads. Please refer to each teacher’s class syllabus for more information about how often homework is given and how it is graded. Homework/Classwork will count for 20% of a student’s grade. 

At PKMS, homework serves several purposes:

•  It allows students to independently practice content taught in class. 

• It  is an essential opportunity for students to refine life skills such as responsibility, autonomy, perseverance, and time management. 

If your child is having a problem with the difficulty level of homework, please reach out to his/her teachers. We are here to help. Students are responsible for making up missed work when absent from  school including homework. Students have 5 days to submit work if absent. This also applies when a student is on a school related trip.
