Homework is important to student learning because it reinforces skills taught in class, encourages independence, and develops confidence in a child. Gates Chili School District recommends about 45 minutes of homework a night during the week. Generally, homework is not assigned for the weekend unless a student has work to make up due to incompleteness, absence, or a major project or unit test is scheduled. Students may have word study and math homework every night. Math usually consists of a book page or worksheet and review of basic facts. At the end of each day students have a 20-minute study hall period to get organized and begin homework. Guidelines for Developing Good Work-Study Habits - Discuss with your child a preferred time to complete homework and keep that time as consistent as possible.
- Assignments are written on the board each day for student to copy into assignment book. It is the student's responsibility to copy all assignment information. Discuss with your child the importance of taking time at the end of the school day to get organized and bring home all needed materials.
- Provide a quiet spot for you child to work with all necessary supplies and materials. Eliminate any distractions.
- Encourage your child to work independently offering help after your child has tried his/her best.
- Check your child's work for neatness, accuracy, and completeness. Please sign the assignment book after reviewing work with your child. Remind your child to bring home assignments completed in school.
- Discuss with your child a convenient location for completed assignments and supplies in order to help prepare for the next school day.
- Notify the teacher if your child seems to be spending an unreasonable amount of time completing homework assignments.
