The Board of Education recognizes homework as an integral and necessary part of the educational program for each student.  Homework is a learning activity related to instruction which is presented within the school.  The purposes of homework are to reinforce, supplement, and enrich work done in the classroom, provide for individual interests, promote a competency in skills and content learning, help students to manage time effectively, apply acquired knowledge, and enable students to use a variety of sources of information.

Homework is given on a regular basis at Springhill Lake. At the beginning of the school year each teacher will send home a copy of the homework policy for the class.  Students in grades three through six are required to write down these daily homework assignments, preferable in assignment books that are to be used throughout the year.  When the homework is completed each day, parents should sign the assignment book to verify that all work has been done.  Parents are urged to provide support for their children as they do their homework.  Some suggestions are: provide a quiet place to study (turn the TV down, or better, off), set a specific study time, be firm in following through with the homework assignment, keep pencils, paper, etc., for the children to use.  If your child indicates that he/she has no homework for several days, please contact the teacher.
