Homework Policy

Homework for middle school students is an extension of the classroom.

Grade 7 should have no more than 70 minutes per night.

Grade Eight—80 minutes per night.

Daily reading of 15-20 minutes per night.

Parents should let teachers know if their son/daughter is doing significantly more than two hours of homework per night. A quick indication in the assignment book is sufficient to alert the classroom teacher that assistance is needed to finish the assignment.

Students are expected to maintain an up-to-date assignment notebook. In addition, assignments will be written on the blackboard, and posted on the school’s website. Students will need to have their assignment notebooks with them at all times. We ask parents to initial each homework assignment as an indication they have seen it. 51 Homework finished in school should be brought home for parent initialing.
