Homework Guidelines

Students in Kindergarten-grade 4 can anticipate having homework 4 times a week. Students may be expected to do homework on the weekends if they are working on long term projects or have not completed assignments during the week. Students in grade 5 may have homework assigned on the weekend. In addition, all students are encouraged to read and write at home daily.
The following chart provides guidelines for the amount of homework students can anticipate at each grade level.
