Why assign homework?
Homework is assigned as practice. As in any sport or hobby, the more
you practice, the better you are able to perform. Homework is assigned so
that children may develop self-efficiency, responsibility and organizational
skills that are needed to be successful in all areas of life.
When will homework be assigned?
Expect your child to have homework each night of the week. Homework
should range between 30 minutes to an hour. In addition to nightly homework,
students are expected to read at least 20 minutes each night.
Will homework be graded?
Students are expected to be prepared for class each day with all
homework completed. If a student fails to complete the homework they must
fill out an I.O.U. explaining why they did not complete the assignment. The
assignment must also be turned in as soon as possible. Late work will result
in a reduction of their grade. Homework not turned in will receive a zero.
Homework Incentive Program
I believe in focusing on the positive in my students, therefore I
would like to reward students who complete their homework regularly.
Students will be given a sticker for each night their homework is complete.
Once their desk chart is full, they will receive a “no homework pass” to use
on a homework assignment of their choice.
