HOMEWORK POLICIES
Homework allows children to show their teacher their independent abilities and understanding on a particular concept. The Archdiocesan Curriculum Guidelines suggest that students in fourth grade should spend an average of 60 minutes per night on homework. This includes any written homework as well as any studying that may need to be done. However since the students will be sitting more during school hours due to CDC restrictions, less homework will be assigned this year.
PARENT HOMEWORK TO DO
We ask that a parent sign/initial the Homework Assignment book on a daily basis.WHAT IF MY CHILD DOESN"T COMPLETE A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT?If a student does not complete a homework assignment the following will occur:
~MY CHILD WAS SICK~If your child was ill, and thus unable to complete work the prior night, please send in a note explaining and your child will have an extra night to complete the assignment.
~LOSS OF HOMEWORK POINTS~Each time a student misses an assignment they will lose a homework point from their Homework Grade in that subject. This is similar to "HOMEWORK CLUB" in 2nd GRADE. If they complete all their homework for the month they will get a HOMEWORK pass to be used at a later date. It is important to note that the students need to begin working towards gaining more independence at this age and learn to take responsibility to get their work done. To help them feel accountable and hopefully feel motivated to keep this grade up, they will recieve an overall homework grade for each trimester.
PLEASE remember, I don't GIVE out grades, your child EARNS them.
~COMPLETION OF HOMEWORK~
If your child has not done their homework for any given day, they will need to complete it the day/night that follows the missed homework day. Please note that we will discuss this in more detail at our BACK TO SCHOOL night.
