Homework provides students with opportunities to deepen their understanding and skills relative to content that has been initially presented to them. Homework also helps students develop good study habits, teaches responsibility, fosters positive attitudes toward school and communicates to students the idea that learning takes place at home as well as at school.

Tips for Parents to facilitate good homework habits:

  • Please make homework a top priority
  • Set a daily homework time
  • Provide a quiet learning environment
  • Provide the necessary supplies
  • Encourage, motivate and prompt your child, but do not sit with them and do the homework for them
