Homework Policy. Homework is an opportunity to reinforce the skills learned during the regular school day. St. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ School encourages families to create a distraction-free or reduced-distraction zone at home. This helps to create effective study skills for students. The approximate homework time allotments are based on a reduced distraction environment. ● Kindergarten - less than ½ hour ● Grades 1 - 2 - ½ hour ● Grades 3 - 4 - 1 hour ● Grades 5 - 6 - 1 ½ hours ● Grades 7 - 8 - 2 hours Homework ordinarily is assigned Monday through Thursday. In some cases, there may be a weekly or long- term assignment that might cause a student to have homework over a weekend. Homework is assigned to reinforce material already taught and to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ habits of independent study. We ask that parents be mindful that homework assignments are not always written. Research, reading assignments, and preparing for upcoming tests should be done with as much care as written assignments. Parents’ careful supervision of homework will provide invaluable support to the academic progress of the student. It is recommended that a child who does not have assigned homework review what was covered in class that day, prepare for an upcoming test, and spend 30 minutes to an hour reading. St. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ School believes in daily reading and assigns it in all classes. Students who are absent are responsible to make up all missing schoolwork and homework. Students have 1 day per absence to submit missed assignments for full credit. Homework is published daily/weekly on either Google Classroom or Class Dojo. If a student is absent and the materials are not available digitally, they will receive the physical materials (worksheets, etc.) upon return to class. If there is an extended absence due to illness and a grade on the student learning assessment is affected, the student will be given an incomplete and given one week after he/she returns to school to make up the work. For prolonged absences, the school will collaborate with the family on a course of study for the interim. If a child is consistently spending more than the suggested time for homework, parents should discuss this with the teacher to develop alternative plans for homework.
