Homework is Important
Homework is an important part of each student’s academic program and is assigned for any of a number of reasons:
- to complete work not completed in class
- to check student’s understanding of items covered in class
- to provide extra practice
- to serve as preparation for future lessons
- to reinforce material that was taught in class
- to complete a long term project
In 1991 the School District published a Homework procedure. According to the procedure, the recommended average homework time for elementary students is as follows:
- grade 2 and 3 15 - 30 minutes per day for 4 days
- grade 4 and 5 30 - 60 minutes per day for 4 days
The procedure states that times should be flexible for teachers and students.
