HOMEWORK POLICY
Homework is given to all students to reinforce or practice what has been learned in school. This is in accordance with Board of Education policy.
We at Judson School encourage that all children complete homework in a timely manner so that the next day’s lessons will be more meaningful. It is very important for all students to use their assignment pads correctly to help them remember to complete their assignments and to bring them to class. Also, it is the intent of the homework policy to teach students to be more organized and responsible in completing their homework assignments. We will continue to remind students to bring home supplies needed for testing and written work. We hope this will eliminate the need to return to school after hours to retrieve needed materials. Assignments are also written on the blackboards. In order to aid in this process we ask that parents/guardians of third graders sign their assignment pads on a daily basis.
Parents of children in grades four and five will be notified by their child’s teacher if three assignments have been late or missed in any subject area. If any three assignments are missing in grade three, parents will be notified. If children are chronically late with their assignments, teachers will also notify the parents in writing.
While we do not like to exclude students from any of the field trips or other special class activities, we feel that students who do not demonstrate appropriate responsibility with regard to their school and homework will not be allowed to join his/her class for some activities. Time will be spent in school finishing work. |
