HOMEWORK |
Homework can be an effective instructional technique as it has positive effects on a student's learning and work habits. It also serves as a vital link between the school and the family. Homework shall not be assigned as a means of punishment. Lack of homework will not be the sole factor to cause failure.
If homework is to be effective, the purposes should be clearly defined. The general purposes of homework are:
1) To promote responsibility, self-direction, and independent work habits.
2) To reinforce skills and information learned in class.
3) To enrich and extend school research experience.
4) To bring students in contact with out-of-school learning experiences.
5) To prepare students for upcoming class topics.
6) To aid in evaluating progress.
In accordance with the purposes stated above, the following guidelines have been established.
1) Assignments should be varied by providing total group, small group, and
individual activities.
2) Assignments should be well within the capabilities of the students.
3) Assignments should be reasonable in view of the students' individual
circumstances.
4) Assignments should be based on clear criteria, evaluated fairly, and used
in the daily program.
5) The students should be properly motivated and prepared for the work.
The duration of assignments for the AVERAGE student should not exceed the
following per night.
Kindergarten 15 minutes
First Grade 30 minutes
Second Grade 45 minutes
Third Grade 45 minutes
Fourth Grade 60 minutes
Fifth Grade 60 minutes

TEXTBOOKS/LIBRARY BOOKS |
Students are responsible for the care of textbooks and other school property issued during the school year. Textbooks should be covered and remain covered throughout the year. The library is an important part of the instructional program. All students will participate in library activities on a regular basis. Care of library books and other materials is, of course, expected. Students will be charged a fee for lost or damaged books. Parents are responsible for paying all delinquent fees, damages, or replacement fees.

MEDICATION |
If a child requires medication (prescription or nonprescription) the following
procedures will be followed.
Controlled drugs must be in the original container with the name of the patient, the prescribing physician, and the pharmacy filling the prescription. Written parental
approval is required before the school administration will dispense medication. A Request to Administer Medication form may be obtained from the office. Any medication brought to the school by students must be given to the appropriate school authority immediately upon arrival.
Prescribed medication should only be administered as directed by the physician.
Any other medication, including aspirin free pain relievers, should only be administered as specifically directed by the parent. All written consents must include the name of the student, dosage, time(s) and date(s) for administration. Open ended consent (i.e. "Administer as needed") will not be honored.
If a child has a specific medical condition that necessitates particular medical treatment, the school should be notified and an emergency medical plan will be mutually developed to ensure the appropriate medical treatment.
