Homework

Homework provides the opportunity for independent practice of content that students have a degree of familiarity with. Teachers will first model and teach the skill and provide the opportunity for guided practice before assigning homework as independent practice. Homework provides students the opportunity to elaborate and/or extend what they have already learned, transfer skills, and help teach time management skills. Please consult your child’s teacher for specific times and amount of homework that will be assigned.

Homework should be planned in a manner to strike a balance between academics, family life, and the child’s needs.

The suggested amount of time for assigned homework is as follows:

K-1st Grade	10-20 minutes
2nd-3rd Grade	20-30 minutes
4th-5th Grade	40-50 minutes

 

 

 

If your child is struggling with an assignment, please attach a note from you to the teacher explaining that your child made a good effort but needs help to complete the work.
