If, as a parent you are concerned about any aspect of your child's school life, the matter should first be discussed with the class teacher. If this proves unsatisfactory the matter should be taken-up with the Principal. Where all else fails the matter can be referred, in writing only, to The Board of Management. Parents can give valuable support to the work of the school and help the child greatly by showing positive interest in and encouragement of homework. In general all pupils from Senior Infants to Sixth are given homework each night, Monday to Friday.
Homework varies from class to class.
Children may earn their week-end free from homework. Parents should, where possible, ensure that children complete the assigned work. Failure to complete homework can only be excused by a note from parent. The class teacher should always be informed if the child has a problem with a particular aspect of homework.
