HOMEWORK POLICY

Homework is an essential part of school life for students. At Huntington Christian homework is an extension of our school program. Homework given at H.C.S. has contributed to the school’s overall academic excellence. Students, parents, and teachers expect homework.

2. Homework will aid students in developing independent study habits.
3. Homework will not be new material to be taught by the parent but rather re-enforcement of skills pre-taught by the teacher. Parents are encouraged to share in their child's learning through assistance in the practicing and reinforcing process of homework.
