Homework is an extension of the work previously taught in the classroom. Homework assignments should be reviewed for completion and accuracy. Homework may be used by the teacher to determine areas for re-teaching but will not be used for a numerical grade.
Parents should offer assistance for homework when it is needed and may wish to provide feedback to the teacher on areas the child struggles with. Parents should not take a leading role in homework.
In general, homework assignments will be completed for the following day; however, long-range assignments and/or special projects will provide students with an opportunity to develop and refine research skills and the ability to work independently.
If homework becomes a significant struggle at home, please contact your child’s teacher to discuss the circumstances.
