Homework Communication
You should expect your child to devote an average of one and one half hours per night on homework or home study. This may vary during the course of the year depending on special projects or assignments. Teachers will provide you with more specific guidelines as they relate to the expectations of their classes. The purpose of assignments includes: providing teachers with evidence of student learning, extending the practice of skills, reviewing material, extending the classroom learning, or completing a project. Students should understand and be able to explain the purpose for the assigned homework.
We believe that learning is important and that learning should continue after school hours. Regular homework should not be viewed as punishment, but rather as a way to reinforce, encourage and extend the learning experience.
If a student has been absent from school, he/she will need to spend time on schoolwork outside of the classroom. Students should check with their teachers for make-up assignments. On the third day of student absence, parents may request that the guidance office contact teachers for missed class work. Homework can be picked up at the office after 3:10 p.m. Teachers and teams may be consulted for particular homework policies.
Nipher teacher are dedicated to communicating their classroom expectations as well as the day-to-day assignments, projects, and assessment that are taking place.
