Parents and Students
Assignments
Homework serves two purposes – to review what has
been learned and to help teach responsibility by requiring students to follow
through on an assignment and return it to school. Formal homework begins the
second semester of first grade.
Guidelines for the amount of time students at various grade
levels should spend on homework:
Grades 1 through 3 – thirty to forty-five minutes.
Grades 4 through 6 – one hour
Grades 7 through 8 – one and a half to two hours
On rare occasions, the length of time spent on homework may
exceed these guidelines. If a student is routinely spending more time than
stated in the above guidelines the teacher should be contacted.
