Homework Assignments
Written and study homework assignments are integral to a student's complete education.  Teachers should design assignments to reinforce and enrich the lessons taught in the classroom. 
Specific homework requirements for each grade/subject are to be communicated to students and parents at the beginning of the school year.  Homework assignments are an extension and reinforcement of skills and activities completed during the class time and include independent reading.
The following time frame should be used as a guideline for homework and study assignments.

Kindergarten - 15 minutes nightly
Grade 1 - 30 minutes nightly
Grade 2 - 1 hour nightly
Grade 3 - 1 hour nightly
Grade 4 - 1 1/4 hours nightly
Grade 5 - 1 1/2 hours nightly
Grade 6 - 2 1/4 hours nightly
Grade 7 - 2 1/4 hours nightly
Grade 8 - 2 1/2 to 3 hours nightly

Teachers will work together to avoid assigning multiple tests and projects on the same days.  Teachers are required to have a web site for homework.  Homework will be posted on Monday for the week.  The web site will be updated to reflect any changes in assignments.
