ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT/HOMEWORK
Because education is a lifelong
process which extends beyond the school, it is important that students
recognize that learning also occurs in the home and community.
Homework is one means of teaching necessary skills, independent study,
and learning outside the school. Homework is considered to include not
only written work, but also related activities such as: community
projects, viewing specific television programs, news reporting,
recreational reading, and other activities which are related to
classroom work, but which are assigned to be done outside the school.
The kind of homework assigned shall depend on the
discretion of each teacher based upon a knowledge of the student's
individual ability, awareness of home conditions, and the practice of
good learning theory.
Parents can support a child's interest in lifelong
learning by encouraging good study habits and providing a learning
environment in the home.
The Board encourages students to develop good study
habits both at school and at home.
