4th Grade Homework Policy
I believe that homework is important because it is a valuable aid in helping your child make the most of his/her experience in school. I give homework because it is useful in reinforcing what has been learned in class, prepares him/her for future lessons, teaches responsibility, and helps him/her develop positive study habits. Homework is an extension of the daily work assigned by the teacher.
Since homework is an assignment that was started at school, but was not completed during the given work time, the amounts of time to finish the work should be less than one hour per night. Most students will be able to complete daily assignments during the school day if they are focused and using their time wisely. All assigned work is to be turned in before the start of the next school day. If work is not turned in on time, a loss of recess will occur. This time will be used to complete the missing work. Any assignment that is not turned in after more than one full school day will receive a grade of a 0. A morning detention will be given after 3 incomplete assignments. Grades may be lowered on work that is turned in late. Students will be given several days notice to complete projects or study for tests. For everyday that a student is absent, he/she will be allowed a day to make up the work.
You, as parents, are the key to making homework a positive experience for your child. Therefore, I ask that you make homework a top priority, set a daily homework time, and provide praise and support. Please contact me if you notice a problem.
Thank you for your support. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me.
