| Homework positively benefits a student's school
achievement, develops responsibility, and heightens the scope of each
student's learning opportunities. Teachers will inform you of the amount
of homework that can be expected. Sometimes assignments may be completed
in class, before or after school. Contact the Counseling Office if you
would like to instate a homework assignment check sheet. Teachers often
sign agendas indicating student work to be completed. Do not hesitate to
call if such a system will help your child be productive in his or her
learning. You can help your student by asking him or her the
following questions:
 |
What's your assignment today? |
|
|
Is the assignment clear? |
|
|
When is it due? |
|
|
Do you need special resources (e.g., a trip to the library or access
to a computer)? |
|
|
Do you need special supplies (e.g., graph paper or posterboard)? |
|
|
Have you started today's assignment? Finished it? |
|
|
Is it a long-term assignment (e.g., a term paper or science
project)? |
|
|
For a major project, would it help to write out the steps or make a
schedule? |
|
|
Would a practice test be useful? |
It is also beneficial to contact your student's teacher regularly to
receive an update on his or her progress, ask questions, or voice concerns
and compliments. |
