Provide a means by which students can learn responsibility and accountability. Help students learn to budget time. Encourage the habit of independent work. Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday in all grade levels. However, some students may have homework over the weekend if work was not completed when assigned. Consideration will be given to holidays and special events at the discretion of the teacher. The following should serve as a general guide for the average amount of time that students will be asked to devote to homework at each grade level. Students at all levels are expected to read or be read to a minimum of twenty minutes nightly. Kindergarten 10-15 Minutes 1st Grade 20-25 Minutes 2nd Grade 20-30 Minutes 3rd Grade 30-45 Minutes 4th Grade 30-60 Minutes 5th Grade 45-60 Minutes 6th Grade 1 Hour +/- Homework Delivery/Evaluation Kindergarten Monthly Packet 1st Grade Packet or Nightly 2nd Grade Packet or Nightly 3rd Grade Nightly 4th Grade Nightly (0% if late) 5th Grade Nightly (0% if late) 6th Grade Nightly (0% if late) Because of the importance of homework, it is one of the criteria for evaluating student progress.

To help students take responsibility for the timely and accurate completion of homework teachers will assign students with late or missing work to study hall or ask that work be completed during recess or assign students extended day work time. Parents can help their children develop good homework habits by establishing a regular time each day during which homework is done. A special location, complete with supplies, and free of distractions will also assist your child. Occasionally students encounter difficulty with a concept in an academic area. As a parent, if you wish to work with your child at home to master the concept, teachers are available to provide direction.
