Homework enhances and reinforces skills learned during class, provides students an opportunity to practice skills independently, and helps students build personal responsibility. Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday. Homework is an extension of activities that students engage in at school. Students can expect to have 10 minutes per grade level of homework in addition to at least 20 minutes of reading each evening. Homework should be able to be completed independently, although parental support of home academic activities is encouraged. If children are spending exceptional amounts of time completing homework assignments, please contact the teacher.
