Homework

School Year 2023-2024

Homework Policy

Homework is an essential part of your child’s success in school. Homework is an opportunity for your child to practice the skill(s) that were taught during the school day. It is also, an opportunity for parents and teachers to assess the capabilities of a child. It is important that a homework “routine” be established. Homework should be done in a quiet location at the same time each day so that the homework routine is successful. Please keep the following in mind:

• homework is to be completed by scholars with as much independence as possible.
• parents may provide assistance, but the work should primarily be done by the child and should reflect his/her capabilities
• the amount of time devoted to homework and the amount of homework given, should be appropriate for the grade level of your child
• homework should be handed in neatly
• teachers have the right to encourage scholars to complete homework that reflects the high standard and cognitive rigor that we expect from our scholars
• if your child misses a homework assignment due to absence or any other reason, it is the responsibility of the parent/child to make sure that the homework assignment is made up within 48 hours
• Assignments are provided on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
