Parents please make homework a top priority by scheduling 30-40 minutes each day for your child to 
study spelling, multiplication/division facts, and complete classwork and homework.  Children need 
routine and structure to be successful.  Before your child begins his/her nightly assignments, be sure 
to check his/her notebook and agenda book.

Rationale for assigning Homework:
	Homework is important because it teaches responsibility and helps students develop good study 
habits. In addition, homework helps to reinforce lessons that have been learned in class, and helps 
prepare students for upcoming lessons and tests.

Homework Expectations:
	Usually, homework should not take more than 30 minutes a night.In addition, time should be set 
aside daily for independent reading, studying spelling, and studying math facts. Please encourage 
your child to do his/her best work. Homework should be neat. All written work should be done in 
pencil. Homework will not be accepted if written in pen, crayon, marker, etc.. When completing 
homework on notebook paper the heading should include name, date, subject, and the page number 
of the assignment.

When is Homework Assigned?
	Homework is assigned every Monday-Thursday. Although homework is not assigned on Friday, 
your child may have classwork or special projects that need to be completed. Students should study 
spelling , math facts, and read on a daily basis outside of their assigned work. This does not have to 
take long but it can significantly help your child's performance.  If for some reason no homework is 
assigned on a designated homework day, your child should still spend some time reading or 
studying.

What If A Student Doesn't Know the Homework Assignment:
	Homework assignments are written on the board each day, and ample time is given to write 
down the assignment. In addition, I always go over the homework assignment and remind the 
students what they need to bring home toward the end of the day. There is NO EXCUSE for a student 
not knowing the homework assignment, or for not having the proper supplies at home to complete 
it.

Exceptions For Turning in Homework Late:
	If for some reason, due to sickness or an emergency, a student is unable to complete homework 
please send a note explaining the reason. Students will always be able to turn in work late due to an 
excused absence but NOT for unexcused absences. If homework is late due to a lack of materials or 
because your child didn't write down the assignment it is unexcusable, but I know that no one is 
perfect. Please write me a note if a problem such as this arises. If this happens repetitively 
remember, this will hurt your child in the long run because it sends the message that it is okay not 
to pay attention when we are going over homework. When students face the consequences of their 
actions it helps to prepare them to become more responsible, independent workers in the future.
