The District believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. It is expected that students will give proper attention to personal cleanliness and wear clothing that is suitable for the school activities in which they participate. A student's dress must not present a health or safety hazard or distraction which would interfere with the educational process. Each child should develop attitudes of personal responsibility and self-discipline in the pursuit of learning. Regularly assigned homework can help accomplish this goal.
Homework helps develop independent study habits and reinforces learning.
It provides enrichment through independent study, individual research, and experimentation. Individual needs and differences of children are considered when assigning homework. It is important that children work alone in a quiet place which is free from distractions. Many schools offer centers which provide a place and time where students may receive assistance with their homework from instructional assistants, teachers, high school students, or volunteers. Students attend with parent permission on an as-needed basis.
