HOMEWORK
Homework should be an integral and relevant part of every student’s instructional program. It should be used consistently throughout the grades and classes.
Homework is defined to be the extra-class activities and assignments which may properly be considered as extensions and enrichment of the regular classroom instructional program.
The purpose of carefully assigned homework should be:
1. practicing research and exploratory activities,
2. sharing and discussing ideas,
3. reviewing and summarizing materials studied,
4. becoming acquainted with references and resource materials,
5. organizing students’ thoughts and thinking processes in preparation for classroom activities, and
6. making up incomplete course or subject assignments.
The Superintendent is directed to develop rules and regulations for the assignment of homework for students in grades K-12.
