I have prepared this
outline to describe the policies and expectations I
have
regarding homework. The purpose of homework is to reinforce or extend
concepts
learned in class. Homework will be handed out Monday-Thursday and
assignments
are due the next day.
Packets
will be returned with the following possible grading:
√+
= Outstanding assignment showing exceptional effort and neatness
√=
Assignment completed satisfactorily
- =
Incomplete and/or late assignment
Assignments will be reviewed
but not necessarily corrected, as I am assuming you will have seen and
reviewed assignments for correctness each night as your child completed
them.
HOMEWORK GOALS
1. To aid in the
development of responsibility, study habits, independence,
time
management and accountability.
2. To
foster a healthy attitude toward school and learning.
3. To
provide practice of classroom learning.
4. To
enhance home-school communication.
PARENT
RESPONSIBILITY
Parents should
supervise homework and give help if necessary, but the
assignment
should be completed by the child. Your supervision will improve
the quality
of your child’s work. Please provide a time and place for your
child to do
his/her homework and try to keep this schedule as consistent as
possible.
Before your child turns in their work, please review
your
child’s work for accuracy.
STUDENT
RESPONSIBILITIES
Students are
responsible for taking home assignment daily and returning
them the
next day. Assignments are to be completed by the student. Make sure
assignments
are done in pencil and completed neatly.
Your support in
following these homework procedures will help with your
child’s
success. Thank you for your assistance.
