Homework

Homework Guidelines

• Frequency and Duration: Time recommendations per grade level:
  • Pre-K and Kindergarten: Four times weekly, typically via weekly packets.
  • Grades 1-2: 20–30 minutes nightly.
  • Grades 3-4: 30–40 minutes nightly.
  • Grades 5-6: 45–60 minutes nightly.
  • Grades 7-8: 60–90 minutes nightly.
• Completion Expectation: Homework is typically due the day after it is assigned unless stated otherwise.
• Weekend Work: Includes unfinished or past-due assignments and long-term projects.

Parental Support Tips

• Create a quiet, distraction-free study space.
• Provide reference tools like a dictionary.
• Establish a regular study schedule.
• Encourage independent work but offer guidance when needed.
• Check the quality of work and reinforce neatness and accuracy.

Additional Notes

• Students are encouraged to engage in quiet reading if no homework is assigned to maintain a regular study habit.
• Teachers will not assign homework ahead of vacations taken outside of scheduled school breaks.
• Missed assignments after absences must be completed within a reasonable time.
• If emergencies prevent homework completion, communication with the teacher is essential for possible extensions.

If a student consistently struggles with excessive homework, parents are advised to contact the teacher to address the issue.
