Homework
Policy:
Students
will have about one hour of homework each night. Students
will receive a homework packet at the beginning of the
week. This will be due on Friday. Students may also
be assigned other work that will be written in their
Dayplanner. It is very important to set aside at least
1 hour each night for school work. Parents are not encouraged
to help with homework other than providing a time and
a place to work, enforcing the homework hour, reviewing
assignments, and signing Dayplanners and filling out
forms. If a the assignment is taking longer than expected
or the assignment in unclear or difficult, the student
should stop after an hour of work and write a note explaining
the difficulty. Homework is has many functions, this
should be a time to practice skills learned in class,
learn study skills and responsibility and provide a
home-school connection.

Long Term Project:
In addition to the weekly
homework, students will also be assigned one longterm
project each quarter. This project is suppossed to be
a fun and creative learning experience where the student
has an opportunity to explore something they are interested
in and practice time management skills. |
