BMS HOMEWORK POLICY

Expectations for homework:

BMS HOMEWORK POLICY

  • Grade 6 - average of one hour
  • Grade 7 - average of 90 minutes
  • Grade 8 - average of 105 minutes

Guidelines for teachers are:

  • To explain to students at the beginning of the school year and subsequently, if necessary, the homework policy and how it is carried out. Teachers may add to policy, but not delete. Additions should be in writing and provided to both students and parents.
  • To ensure that students understand not only what to do, but also how to do it, before leaving school.
  • To assign homework as a growth from classroom problems, projects, and concerns.
  • To evaluate homework assignments according to the teacher's purpose and to quickly provide feedback.

Guidelines for parents or guardians are:

  • To arrange for an appropriate work space for the student to work.
  • To cooperate by encouraging their child(ren) to complete homework assignments.
  • To make every effort to understand the value of various types of homework, since the value differs with different circumstances and conditions.
  • When planning vacations, to consider the fact that homework is not a substitute for classroom instruction.
  • To make every effort to get assignments when their child is not in school.
