HOMEWORK
The
purpose of homework in all cases is to amplify and reinforce classroom
instruction, and not to stand in its place; to develop individual study habits;
and to encourage a sense of responsibility and of organization in a developing
and inquiring mind. The philosophy of the school is to organize the daily
and weekly schedules so that students may attend Wednesday evening prayer
meeting with their parents. Due to the uncertainties of the educational
process (e.g. shortened school; sickness; spontaneous discussions; school
cancellations), Wednesday homework is sporadically inevitable.
Teachers
may handle late or unfinished assignments according to their own
discretion. Notice should be given to the Headmaster and to the parents
when late or incomplete work begins to follow a pattern.
Assignments
and their due dates will be clear and specific. Students in all grades are
encouraged to use assignment books.
Assignments
should be individualized when this is required by the specific needs of the
student.
At the beginning of the year
each teacher should clearly
state what should be done if an emergency happens at home and assigned work is
completed only in part or not at all. (I.e. note from home, request to work at
recess, etc.)
Young children
learn best under careful guidance by the teacher or parent. Little, if
any, homework is given in grades one or two. However, since parents can be
of invaluable help in
 building skills in reading and
numbers, their help will be called upon at the proper time.
Third and fourth grade assignments should not exceed ¾ to 1¼ hours per
evening. Fifth and sixth
grade assignments should not exceed 1 to 1½ hours per evening.
Seventh
and Eighth grade assignments should not exceed two hours.
In addition to regular homework,
students may be assigned long-term projects or research papers.
Homework is rarely to be given over the
weekends other than standing assignments for Bible and Catechism
memorization. We discourage the children from using the Lord's Day for doing
homework. We encourage Sunday afternoon to be used for the purpose of memorization,
Bible study, and prayer. We also encourage attendance at prayer meeting on Wednesday
evenings.
Make Up Work
If a student is absent, parents should contact the teacher regarding missed
assignments.
In the case of
illness, the teacher must determine which assignments should be completed and
which assignments should be waived in order to keep up with the necessary
skills.
A student who has been absent is
responsible for making arrangements with his teachers to make up all missed
tests, papers, homework, and/or related schoolwork. In the case of excused
absences, length of time for making up this work shall be at the discretion of
teachers or the Headmaster. All work, if possible, should be completed
within the marking period.
MEMORY WORK
The memory work consists of Scripture verses and
catechetical answers. In most cases the Scripture is that from which the
catechetical answer is derived. It is expected that
parents will review the past memory work with the child in the home.
Note: Bible memory will be learned based on the NIV
Translation of the Bible unless otherwise indicated.
