• It is important that parents/guardians help establish a homework routine with their children by determining a regular place free from distractions and by giving priority to homework as a daily home activity.
• It is essential that parents recognize homework as the student's work and responsibility.  The parent is responsible for supervision.  The degree of supervision required will vary according to the age of the child and the difficulty of the work.
• The parent should be available to encourage, listen  and review, but the responsibility for completing the work should always rest with the child.

Parents who are interested in and supportive of school assignments are a great help to our school's efforts. By establishing a routine and consistent expectations at home, the parent not only reinforces what the teacher expects of the child in school, but also plays an essential part in enabling the child to become increasingly self-reliant and accountable.
