Homework Policy


   Homework Policy

Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday.  Homework is given as a review of the work covered in class, or to prepare for an upcoming test.  It is not given as punishment.  Homework has value and is given to help your child succeed in class.  We feel it also helps teach responsibility and develops positive, long lasting study habits.

Homework will vary in length, but children should be spending on average 30 to 45 minutes a night on it.  Contact me if your child is spending an exceptional amount of time on homework on a daily basis.  We can then work on a solution together.

Students are expected to do their best, complete homework neatly, and on time.  Homework may be graded.  If the assignment is not handed in on time, the student will miss recess and receive 0 credit for not completing the assignment on time.  The student is expected to turn in the assignment the next day.

Their assignments will be written in their red assignment book each day.  It is the student's responsibility to make sure they bring home the correct materials to complete their assignments.

Parents' Responsibilities:

  • Find a quiet place for your child to study
  • Check the red assignment book and sign it daily
  • Encourage your child to show you his/her completed homework
  • Help your child study for tests
