Homework is an essential part of a child’s learning:
it is based on lessons taught in class.
students should be able to complete the homework with minimal assistance.
some students may need assistance with reading.
assignments may be written work, including projects and reading, including studying materials taught in class.
it is encouraged that all children read something of their choice every day!
Homework is assigned for several reasons:
to reinforce skills taught in class
to complete work not completed in class
to commit to memory ideas or concepts
to work on an assigned project over a period of time
to allow time to collect information
to develop regular and independent work habits
to develop responsibility
Homework policy per grade:
Every individual teacher has their own homework policy that will be communicated with you. As such, collaboration between the teacher, parent/guardian, and student is essential.
A Student's homework responsibilities are:
to list homework assignments in the school agenda
to bring home all the materials needed to do the homework properly
to use the appropriate exercise books and stencils
to do all the written work neatly and carefully
to consider study work as important as written work
