We surveyed the Children, Parents and Teachers about homework. The results were very interesting. There were as many different opinions on homework as there are children. The challenge for us was to find an approach that acted on the survey results and yet not ignore families with different opinions.

We feel that we have come up with a compromise that could work for our school. I have attached the summary of results from the surveys and the plan for homework for the remainder of the year. As always, we are constantly reviewing what works in our school and homework is no different. We will be updating our policy soon and at the end of the year we will evaluate how the year has gone and whether any changes need to be made for the coming year.

If you have any questions, just contact us and we can discuss them.

Thanks

Gerry
