HOMEWORK
Keeping students after school to make up homework is done at the discretion of the individual teacher. Prior arrangements must be made 24 hours in advance. Administration and office staff must be notified daily of students remaining after school. When a student is absent, with an excused absence, for more than a day, the teacher will prepare homework/ classwork assignments for the child to make up. This will be at the request of the parents. Teachers are requested to send the work to the office by 3:05 on the day requested. Homework that will be missed due to a planned, unexcused absence will be assigned in advance at the discretion of the teacher. As a general rule, it is recommended that students complete 20 minutes of homework per grade level, i.e.: 20 minutes –first grade, 40 minutes-2nd grade, 60 minutes – 3rd grade, 80 minutes- 4th grade, 100 minutes – 5th grade.
