Supporting your child in her school work can make a real difference. Enjoy! The time you spend helping her read and write is a gift for a life time!

HOMEWORK
Philosophy
Homework is defined as the time students spend outside the classroom in assigned learning activities. The school believes the purpose of homework is be to practice, reinforce, or apply acquired skills and knowledge. We also believe, as research supports that moderate assignments completed and done well are more effective than lengthy or difficult ones poorly done.
Homework serves to develop regular study skills and the ability to complete assignments independently. The school further believes completing homework is the responsibility of the student, and as students mature they are more able to work independently. Therefore, parents play a supportive role through monitoring completion of assignments, encouraging students’ efforts and providing a conducive environment for learning.
Homework contributes toward building responsibility, self-discipline and lifelong learning habits. It is the intention of the school staff to assign relevant, challenging and meaningful homework assignments that reinforce classroom learning objectives. Homework will provide students with the opportunity to apply the information they have learned, complete unfinished class assignments, and develop independence.
Actual time required to complete assignments will vary with each student’s study habits, academic skills, and selected course load. If the parent feels the child is spending an inordinate amount of time doing homework, they should contact their child’s teachers.
(The detailed Homework schedule has been given in the School Diary)
Late Work Penalties
Students are required to turn assignments in on time. Students who turn in late assignments face the following penalties:
If, during this two-week period, the quarter ends, an incomplete will be issued. A final grade will be given at the end of the two-week period to reflect the appropriate earned credit for the assignment and class.
Incentives
• Each student will have the opportunity to use one late work pass for each class during each quarter.
Important: A late work pass does not excuse the assignment, it simply allows for one late turn-in without penalty, provided it is turned in by the next class.
Grace Periods for Absences
1) Absences for Illness and/or Family Emergency
• Minimum of two days for each day of absence to complete missed work.
• More than three consecutive days of absence – Teacher and student will determine essential assignments and agree upon due dates.
2) Absences for Illness and/or Family Emergency (Category Two)
•In the event of a one-day absence, for which the work was assigned more than five days in advance, the original due date will be maintained.
• If the absence is more than one day, the grace period above applies.
• Absences of one day will follow the two-day grace period.
• If work is available before an absence, it is due upon return.
• If work is requested, but not available in advance, the student will have two days for each day of absence to complete the assignment.
4) Extenuating Circumstances
The student will work with the teacher to make a plan to deal with extenuating circumstances. Examples of extenuating circumstances may include: family emergencies, injuries and extended illnesses.
