Our Homework Policy: Homework should be meaningful and important to our students’ education. Our students have already been in school for 7 1/2 hours and need to refresh for the next day, they do not need to go home and just do busy work.
Nightly, students should be:
1. Reading (15-30 minutes minimum depending on age) – which builds vocabulary to help students express themselves, connect with others, and understand the world around them
2. Active Play (at least 30 minutes) – which helps reduce stress and anxiety; improves focus and attention span, allows for better sleep; helps school performance
3. Parent’s signature in planner or responsibility log – which allows for continued communication between school and home
Occasionally, students will need to complete work from school, and once to twice a quarter, students will have family projects.
