FOURTH GRADE HOMEWORK POLICY

EXPECTATIONS

1. Students will work independently on homework at least 60 minutes a day in a quiet, non-distracting setting. The 60 minutes must be focused, productive time.

Students are welcome to do more than the 40 minute requirement (parent discretion).

In addition, all students are required to do 20 minutes of daily, independent reading for Book Summaries.

3. Be advised, students may receive assignments from specialty classes (Music and Science Lab).
