Homework policies

Homework consolidates class learning and teaches the child the invaluable habits of self-discipline and responsibility.

Below you will find the approximate time allotted for home study by grade level.

Both below average and exceptional students may find themselves beyond or beneath the listed ranges respectively.

Responsible for regular monitoring the time students spend on homework. Parents who are aware that their child is regularly exceeding the allotted time should contract the homeroom teacher.

Parents should submit notes excusing their children of homework before the first class of the day. These notes should be submitted via Parent Square to the teacher who assigned the homework. Students shall not submit their own excuses.

Students are not required to submit homework on days they are absent. However homework should be submitted on the day that they return to class.

The following guidelines are observed for makeup work:

Students will be given one day more than the number of days absent to complete their makeup work.

Makeup work will be posted in the FACTS homework app.

Students may submit homework coupons to be excused of a homework assignment. A single coupon excuses one homework assignment. Coupons cannot be used for long term assignments, such as reports, for quizzes or tests. Homework coupons must be submitted before the first class of the day.

No more than one coupon may be used per subject within a week. For example, only one coupon may be submitted for math homework within the week, but in the same week, a student may also submit one coupon for history homework.
