construction at this time)

The education of today’s children must be considered a team effort by both parents and teachers.  Research shows that the most successful students, regardless of family income level or ethnic background, are those who have regularly structured, homework time.  This parent-assisted practice serves a dual purpose.

• It allows the student extra practice to reinforce and advance the skills taught in school.
• It communicates to the child his/her priority in the parent’s life.  This contact time develops more than academic skills; it develops a sense of self-value, and builds memories.

The discipline of nightly homework creates a habit that will benefit the student throughout life.  It is our intent to require reasonable and constructive assignments that will encourage the student’s success in the classroom.  It is important that our parents share our beliefs about homework and will support us in this effort.

Establishing a time and place for homework will help to develop a habit and assure that the homework gets completed.

Please understand that we do not expect our parents to teach their children; that is our job.  We view parental support in the homework area as encouragement, setting a homework time, and following through to ensure that the work is completed.  Finally, to do well in school your child must be present, on time, healthy, rested and attentive.

Parents are expected to encourage their children to complete the homework given each day by finding a quiet place to work and checking to make sure the homework is completed.
