Homework Policy

Divine Child International School is committed to working with students and parents to provide a learning environment that is secure and supportive so that all individuals can develop academically and socially free from fear of ridicule, harassment or physical threat. We aim to create an environment where all members of the school community feel safe, respected and valued. All children have an absolute right to be protected from others who may wish to harm, degrade or abuse them. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable at our school.

Purpose:

The purpose of assigning homework at DCIS is to strengthen academic skills, reinforce concepts taught by teachers, develop student responsibility and accountability, and promote parent awareness.

Definition:

Homework may be an independent activity, or may require parental help, to be accomplished outside of the school day and without benefit of teacher assistance, to reinforce previously learned ideas. Unfinished class work or work missed due to absence, although accomplished outside of the school day, is not included in the school’s definition of homework. Homework (approx. 30·60 min) will generally fall into one or more of these different categories and may include, but is not limited to, the following examples:

  • Practice - This includes activities to reinforce skills such as studying spelling words and practicing Math facts.
  • Preparation - These are assignments designed to provide background information and focus on future class activities. Studying for tests and reading supplementary materials are examples of such homework assignments.
  • Extension/Creative - Activities such as book reports, Science projects and Research for Social Studies reports are examples of such homework. Amount of Homework - The amount of homework assigned shall be related to the maturity and ability level of the students in a given class.
  • Student's Responsibility - It is the responsibility of the student to note and understand the homework assignment, complete it, and return it to school on the required day. Teachers may use homework assignments to help determine the student's grade.
  • Parent's Responsibility - It is the responsibility of the parent to set a specific time and place for doing homework and to monitor the student's homework. If at any time a parent has a concern about the school's homework policy, they are to contact their child's teacher. The Tuition and Holistic .
