Homework

The Board of Education believes that homework is an important part of the educational program for students in the Wake County Public School System and should be assigned on a regular basis. Homework assignments should be purposeful continuations or extensions of the instructional program and appropriate to the student's' developmental level. Homework should help students become responsible, self-directed learners, improve their academic achievement and provide reinforcement opportunities. The research-based guidelines for minutes of homework per day are:

K-2 -20 minutes per day

3-5 -50 minutes per day
