Homework Policy

All students will be issued individual homework/planners on the first day of school. It is a requirement that parents/guardians sign this homework book each night assuring the school that all homework is complete. Exceptions of illness and family emergencies require written notification submitted on the same day the assignment is due.

Purpose:

To establish reasonable guidelines for the assignment of homework.

Philosophy:

Homework is a tool that will be used to reinforce concepts already presented and learned in class. Homework assignments will be developmentally appropriate in both complexity and duration of time required to complete.

Homework assignments in the form of projects that require a family to work together are in keeping with the Montessori philosophy and are supported by the Board of Trustees of The Queen City Academy Charter School.

Under no circumstances will assignments be given which requires parents to teach new material to their children.
