FRISCO ISD HOMEWORK POLICY

Elementary School Students: Homework assignments can be an extension of unfinished classroom work or a review of previously taught skills. Parents are not expected to instruct their children. They are expected to assist if the need arises. Students should understand what they are to do before they leave school for the day and be able to complete the assignment in a relatively short period of time. Drill-type activities are ones that should be completed quickly. Elementary school students should spend no more than 10 minutes per grade level on homework, including nightly reading, (i.e. first grade 10 minutes, second grade 20 minutes, third grade 30 minutes, etc.). If homework routinely takes more time than this, students or parents are encouraged to talk to the teacher privately and explain the concerns students are experiencing with their homework. Teachers, students and parents should work together to ensure a reasonable homework load. Parents should ensure that their child does the homework each day. Regular monitoring of homework provides a good overview of how and what the student is doing in various subjects. Homework provides a regular channel of communication between the parent and teacher.

8/14-9/25

Reading Homework

Unit Chapter Readings

Students should refer to the Lesson Slides and daily agenda posted on Google Classroom to guide any at home readings.

Throughout the school year, students will be expected to practice their comprehension strategies using the 4 Square Strategy graphic organizer (Screen to Scratch). These note-taking skills are not graded, however, there are opportunities for students to avail extra-credit on the Google Classroom by submitting their 4 Squares.

Writing Homework

Unit-Long Compositions

Students are given segments of time (across multiple days) to progress along the Writing Process: Prewriting, Drafting, Revising, Editing, & Publishing for their multi-week Essay Compositions. Though assignments are not specifically designated as homework, it is the general "rule of thumb" that any unfinished classwork may be continued and finished at home/outside of the classroom.

Refer to these infographics (posted on the Google Classroom) for a thorough understanding of Workload Expectations, especially as it pertains to integrating Classwork & Homework into students' daily routines.

Communication is NOT punitive! Assignment alerts are not intended to alarm families but rather reinforce accountability among students.
