Homework

A child’s learning extends beyond the classroom. Children benefit from at-home reading practice or being read to for at least 20 minutes a day. Assigned homework is appropriate to the age group of learners. Students may be required to complete work that reinforces classroom learning that is offered for remediation or enrichment, or unfinished class assignments.
