Homework is an important part of the instructional program at Wilson School. The Wilson School Teachers have met and determined these guidelines for homework, and share them with you so that parents can anticipate expectations, as well as understand their role in this part of their child's learning.

In general, you can expect that ...
  • Homework is a "follow up" of what was taught in class that day or recently
  • These times are estimated for work done in a quiet location, with minimal distractions
  • If your child's homework isn't completed in a reasonable amount of time, please write a note to your child's teacher on the paper and send it in.
  • Homework is done at home. Some time is given in class for independent practice, but you can expect your child to have homework Monday through Thursday evenings.
  • Nightly Reading is either time an adult reads to a child, time the child reads to an adult, or time the child reads independently.
