Homework is assigned in order to reinforce concepts introduced in class, to supplement and complement daily classroom activity, and to provide opportunities for independent reading, preparation, and study. In general, homework will account for 10% or less of a student’s marking period grade. Students are encouraged to utilize a planner to record daily and long-term assignments. At the middle school level, students should have a structured routine for nightly homework preparation and review even when no written work is due. Generally, total homework should not exceed 90 minutes per day.
