Homework

Learning to turn in homework on time is an important part of education. Demerits are issued to all students who fail to meet this responsibility. By the end of Middle School, students are expected to have learned this important lesson. High School students who miss a homework assignment will automatically be ineligible to participate in their athletic competition the following week.

Each evening Middle school students are expected to spend at least 30 minutes per night in each subject. High school students should average a minimum of 45 minutes per night in each subject. Students who work at a slow pace, will need to spend longer. Students who have a serious problem, which would prevent them from completing their homeowrk assignment, are to contact the teacher the night before the assignment is due to discuss arrangements for possible postponement.

Parents are to provide a quiet place for study in the home where there is no phone, T.V. or stereo. Parents are encouraged to set aside a particular time in the home for all the family, when the T.V. and stereo are turned off, the phone is not answered and everyone studies or reads.
