Homework is an important part of the instructional program that WILL affect the student’s overall grade. Regularly completed homework helps students: develop regular study habits and self-discipline basic to effective study and independent work; gain more information than would be possible in the class situation alone; have more opportunity to develop a personalized, creative approach to projects and other schoolwork; learn to budget time more effectively; and take advantage of community and home learning resources. Make-up work will be allowed for excused absences.
