If you put "talk to your student's teacher " in a school wide statement about homework, it opens too much choice which defeats the purpose of having a school wide stance.

One thing I heard Dusty say at our PD today was that as a parent he appreciates his kids bringing homework home because it is a connection to what is happening in the classroom . He said that "if I see my kid is doing a math sheet easily than I know he's doing good in math". I think it might be important to include a sentence pertaining to this idea because often times many in our parent community thinks if their child does homework quickly that must mean they need a lot of challenges. We need to communicate that easy homework is not a bad thing it just means that your student is doing well.

Reading daily is essential for learning. We expect all students, pre-K through grade 5 to read each night at home. This can be a combination of being read to, reading with, or reading to someone or reading independently. Please ask your teacher for ideas for making reading a fun, family routine at home. Other than reading nightly, Kindergarten students will not have homework. In grades 1-5, If homework is given, it will be intentional, focused, and a continuation of learning that is happening in the classroom. If a family ever has questions about homework, they should talk directly to the classroom teacher.

Kindergarten flexibility

I note the freedom (for students, educators and families) and flexibility allowed in the Wilburton Handbook. Also, see how there is an expectation/reminder that learning at home is essential and that it takes place at home in varied forms.

Homework vs. homelearning (semantics worth examining and defining maybe)

We like the Wilburton wording best.

Request:
In the Wilburton statement, change the phrases "if homework is given" to "if specialized assignments are given".
