Homework is an extension of the classroom. Please provide a quiet time and place for your child to work on assignments. Teachers will explain the classroom homework policy to their students the first week of school. They will also address the subject of homework during Curriculum Night. Homework will consist of reading, writing and math in grades K-5. Additionally, grades 3-5 will have projects that will be due throughout the year. A schedule of these projects will be provided by your child's teacher.
The recommended amount of time that should be spent on homework at each grade level per night is listed below. On occasion there may be a bit more or less homework assigned depending on the needs of certain projects. However, if you feel that your student is consistently spending more than the recommended time doing homework please contact your child's teacher or Ms. Ott.
- K-10 min.
- 1st-20 min.
- 2nd-30 min.
- 3rd-30 min.
