Homework Policy
It is expected that every student does their homework nightly to reinforce concepts that have been taught, learn time management, and help develop a sense of responsibility. Doing homework on a regular basis in conjunction with the skills being taught in school, help students to become successful lifelong learners. In the fourth grade students should be expected to receive approximately 40 minutes of homework daily.
