Where's the Homework? There it is!

NIAA Parents and Students,
Please make sure homework is turned in on time! Students are encouraged daily and weekly to write down assignments in their planners as reminders of due dates. If homework is not turned in on time it will result in an infraction and over time these infraction will add up to a detention.

Homework: Why it is Important - an excerpt by Jennifer Atkinson:

What About Traditional Daily Assignments?

"Research has consistently shown that parental involvement in a child's learning is a key factor in that child's achievement in school. With the reality of the test driven world of education, many parents expect what they were given in school for homework, familiar daily or weekly assignments. I do agree with the rationale behind these daily assignments:

• Homework reinforces skills, concepts and information learned in class.

• Homework prepares students for upcoming class topics. 

• Homework teaches students to work independently and develop self-discipline. 

• Homework encourages students to take initiative and responsibility for completing a task. 

• Homework allows parents to have an active role in their child's education and helps them to evaluate their child's progress. 

• Homework activities relate what is learned in school to children's lives outside of school and helps to connect school learning to the real world."

So to avoid the detention assignments and infractions, Let's Get The Homework Done!
Thanks,
Miss Sanders
