Homework Policy

RATIONALE

At JBCCS we believe Homework helps ‘make the student’; that homework:

• Develops a sense of independence
• Provides a means for formal parent active involvement in the direct supervision and learning of the child
• Develops home study skills
• Should, almost entirely, be related to what the student is currently learning in the classroom.
