Homework

Studies show that student achievement increases when parents and families become more involved and committed to the education of their children. Instilling a respect for education, and creating within the home an environment conducive to learning are essential for success. As parents participate in the homework process at each grade level, their children feel comfortable learning and come to school willing and prepared to study. Good homework assignments help students:

• practice newly learned skills
• do more in-depth work
• expand their interest in the subject
• develop management skills

Study time should be part of a daily routine. Even when there is no homework assigned, time should be spent on reading for pleasure or working on an upcoming assignment. This procedure needs to be made a regular school night practice.
