Homework Help

The purpose of homework is to meaningfully reinforce learning, responsibility and critical thinking. To this end, our teachers try to make all assignments purposeful and related to class activities, as well as to individual interest, needs and abilities.

As a parent, your role is to ensure that homework is being completed on time, thoroughly and neatly so that teachers can focus on helping students master the content. Parents can offer assistance in the following ways:

  • Schedule a specific time and place daily for homework assignments
  • Provide a quiet space without distractions for your child
  • Confer with the teacher if your child is unclear about assignments
  • Make sure your child has necessary supplies, books and other materials required for their assignments
  • Discuss your child’s homework regularly with their teacher
  • Provide guidance on how to arrive at answers for their assignments
  • Check your child’s assignments daily for neatness and completion
  • Encourage your child to read and write for enjoyment daily, and parents are also encouraged to read with their child
  • Use local resources to enhance and enrich your child’s assignments such as trips to the library, museum or historical society
