HOMEWORK POLICY

HOMEWORK POLICY I believe homework is important because it is a valuable aid in helping students make the most of their experiences in school. I give homework because it is useful in reinforcing what has been learned in class, teaches responsibility, and helps students develop positive study habits. I will assign homework daily. Homework should take students 50 minutes to complete, not including reading each evening and studying for tests. Spelling tests will be given every Friday, unless otherwise stated. A parent signature will be asked for on any test that receives a grade of D or F. I expect students to do their best on homework. I expect homework to be neat, not sloppy. I expect students to do the work on their own and only ask for help after they have given it their best effort. If possible, I would appreciate if a parent would spend a few minutes each evening reviewing completed homework assignments. I strongly believe in the value positive support plays in motivating children to develop good study habits. I will give students praise and other incentives when they do their homework. However, if a student does not complete their homework, it will be finished during recess.. I know that at times there is a legitimate reason a student is not able to complete their homework. Please send a short note to me explaining why the homework has not been completed and when I can expect it to be done. Thank you for your cooperation! |
