Homework
will generally not be assigned on weekends and holidays.
Students may, however, have long-range projects that they
choose to work on during holidays or weekends. |
| |
Homework
has a sound educational purpose, and is, thus, not given
as punishment or "busy work". |
| |
Homework
assignments are an extension of an in-school experience.
Only homework that has a creative objective will be assigned
without previous classroom preparation. Such assignments,
however, will thoroughly be explained. |
| |
Homework
is assigned within a reasonable timeframe for completion.
Assignments are suited to individual students' needs and
capabilities. |
| |
In
grades 3, 4, and 5, all students are to record daily assignments
in their Agenda Book. |
| |
Teachers
who are team teaching will check with their teammates before
assigning a major assignment. |
| |
In
case of an excused absence, two days will be given for make-up
work for everyday the student is out. Parents may
pick up assignments after 3:45 pm, if so desired.
A note should be sent to the teacher requesting that assignments
be ready. In no case should the day's teaching be
interrupted to gather work for an absentee. |
| |
Occasionally
assignments may be made by special teachers. |
| |
Any
class work involving the teaching of new skills/concepts
while students are out of the room will be taught by the
teacher. |
| |
Appropriate
homework is a necessary component of the educational process.
Students are expected to complete all homework assignments. |
