Homework Policy
Why do I assign homework? In my opinion, homework is a valuable part of each student’s learning experience. Through homework, responsibility is learned, skills are reinforced, and the importance of school is stressed.
When will homework be assigned? Homework will be assigned each day before students leave class, to be returned the next morning with exception of projects whicj will be given more time and broken into small chunks.
What are your child’s homework responsibilities? I expect each child to do their best job on each homework assignment. I expect homework to be neat and done in pencil. I expect homework to be completely finished by class time the following morning. COMPUTER HOMEWORK IS MANDATORY unless you have absolutely no computer access. If so, we must discuss alternatives as soon as possible.
What will happen if assignments are not completed? If students choose not to do their homework, they will lose certain classroom privileges. After three homework assignments have not been turned in, or are turned in incomplete, the parent will be contacted and a homework contract will be set up.
What about legitimate excuse for not completing a homework assignment? If there is a legitimate reason why a student is unable to complete the assignment, simply write a note explaining the reason. They will be given until the following Monday to turn it in.
What are a parent’s homework responsibilities? Parents are the key to making homework a positive experience for their children. Therefore, I ask that parents make homework a top priority at home, provide necessary supplies and a quiet homework environment, set aside time every day when homework is to be done, provide praise and support, not allow children to avoid doing their homework, and contact me if a problem arises.
Please read and discuss this homework policy with your child. Together, we can do this!
