Homework should be an integral and relevant part of every student's instructional program. It should be used consistently throughout the grades and classes.
Homework is defined to be the extra-class activities and assignments which may properly be considered as extensions and enrichment of the regular classroom instructional program.
The purpose of carefully assigned homework should be:
- practicing research and exploratory activities,
- sharing and discussing ideas,
- reviewing and summarizing materials studied,
- becoming acquainted with references and resource materials,
- organizing students' thoughts and thinking processes in preparation for classroom activities, and
- making up incomplete course or subject assignments.
The superintendent or his/her designee is directed to develop rules and regulations for the assignment of homework for students in grades K-12.
