(as stated in the LISD Elementary Student Handbook)

When a teacher assigns homework, it is to help students prepare for the next day’s lessons and to build good study habits. Students are encouraged to always complete homework assignments to the very best of their ability.

• To improve achievement
• To nurture the development of good study habits
• To familiarize parents with their child(ren)’s work and give parents a chance for involvement
• To provide more time for in-class instruction

• Promptly inform parents of the homework assignment.
• Make an effort to understand the assignment.
• Make a consistent effort to complete the assignment.
• Take responsibility for turning in the assignment.

• Provide structure in the home, including time, place, and proper environment for completing homework.
• Should your child not have a specific assignment,
1) Encourage your child to read silently or orally for the “suggested time frame,” or
2) Read to your child, or
3) Talk to your child about the day’s activities.
