Homework is a valuable component of theeducational process, providing constructive exercises to reinforce concepts learned. The goals of homework are toassist students in mastering the concepts learned in the classroom, to extend the curriculum when desirable, and todevelop good study habits and responsible attitudes. Students at each grade level are assigned homework on aregular basis. Homework has direct application to what is being studied in the classroom and is designed to becompleted outside the classroom setting. Teachers make sure that all students understand the expectations andpurpose for the assignment and that it is relevant to the class work. Parents are encouraged to provide theopportunity for their children to complete homework assignments by providing a quiet, well-lit space for them to dotheir homework and regularly monitoring their children to see that homework is completed. Parent involvementensures the success of all our students.- 10 -
