When do students start having homework assignments, and how much time are they expected to spend on homework?
A Kindergarteners and first graders do not have homework, although we strongly urge parents to join their children in reading and storytelling each evening.Second graders are asked to read for one-half hour, and receive additional writing, science or math work to complete. Third and fourth graders receive homework four evenings a week; all of our teachers ask that parents set the stage for academic independence by letting students complete their work by themselves, limiting their work to a reasonable amount of time.
