Homework is a teacher-planned learning activity, which takes place largely outside of the student’s regular school hours. It should reinforce classroom learning and expand on a student’s school experience. Homework is considered an important part of the instructional program. Although homework may not be assigned each night, time should be spent reading, writing, practicing math facts, and reviewing for tests. Whenever students are absent, parents may request that homework be sent with a sibling, relative, or neighbor. Requests for homework assignments should be made in the morning. Parents are asked to make requests early in the school day, as time may not allow for materials to be organized to send home. Grading protocols for homework will be based on the Assessment Model.
