Time Limits
It is difficult to set time limits on homework, since students vary greatly in their rate of speed when working. In addition, the home environment may, or may not, encourage a concentrated effort. The following suggested times represent the maximum amount of time that a student should be spending on homework, for the average student. No daily homework assignments will be made prior to the weekend or preceding a school holiday. However, teachers may assign long range projects, which students may choose to work on over a weekend or school holiday. Teachers will provide ample notification about any long range projects or tests, so that students can prepare in advance. Additional, independent reading for all students on a daily basis is encouraged to strengthen essential reading skills.
These are the suggested maximum time limits for each grade level.
Kindergarten 10 minutes – Four times a week
1st Grade 15 minutes – Four times a week
2nd Grade 20 minutes – Four times a week
3rd Grade 25 minutes – Four times a week
4th Grade 30 minutes – Four times a week
