Homework Policy

Homework is an important part of the total educational program.  It develops self discipline, good study habits and helps to improve basic skills.

The time spent on homework will increase with the grade of the student. As teachers, parents, and students we must work together to achieve success.

Homework will usually fall into one of the following categories:

• Practice on basic math facts, spelling words, cursive, or reading
• Completion of work not finished during the day
• Study for tests
• Working on long term projects
