HOMEWORK
Regularly assigned homework is an official policy that the San Diego Unified School District’s Board of Education has for all students. We recognize that a reasonable amount of homework and preparation is necessary for the academic growth of all students. Homework is:
- designed to help students reinforce concepts presented in the classroom
- designed to develop organizational and time management skills
- appropriate for the grade and ability levels
- graded given in all subject areas
Teachers are committed to
- sending home information explaining homework expectations at the beginning of the school year
- explaining and clarifying assignments with students
- monitor student homework
- inform parents when students consistently fail to complete assignments
Parents are encouraged to
- give support of and attention to your child’s completion of homework.
- create a cozy and quiet area in your home for your child to do homework.
- contact your child’s teacher when you find yourself having any concerns (including quantity or quality) about your child’s homework, as the sooner concerns are addressed, the sooner support for your child can be appropriated.
- assist and supervise children’s home learning, they should not do it for them. We appreciate your support in making sure that your child completes all homework assignments and returns them on time.
Students are expected to:
- Inform parents when assignments are made
- Bring necessary materials home and return materials on time
- Complete the assignments neatly, accurately, and on-time
