Golden Hill K-8 School Homework Policy
Reseach shows that excessive homework does not correlate with increased academic achievement. Golden Hill K-8 students will have homework, but it will certainly not be excessive. Your child should read outside of school every day for 30 minutes. This can include a mixture of parents reading to children, children reading to parents, and children reading independently. Additonally, your child may recieve some work to enrich the classroom learning, and/or classwork that he/she did not complete in class.
Your child's teacher is committed to:
· Explaining and clarifying assignments with students at the time homework assignments are made.
· Evaluating and monitoring homework assignments.
· Informing parents about how their child is doing with homework assignments.
Parents are encouraged to:
· Provide a regular study place with a minimum of distraction.
· Monitor the student as needed.
· Communicate with the teacher if there are questions about homework assignments or if students have difficulty in completing assignments in a reasonable time.
· Check to see that work is completed and school materials returned.
The student is expected to:
· Inform parents when assignments are made and when they are due.
· Bring necessary materials home and return materials on time.
· Complete the assignments to the best of their ability, and on time.
