Hampstead School District offers a continuum of homework
practices: Policy IKB
- In
grades K-2, no homework is to be assigned. Teachers will provide parents
with recommendations to extend students’ learning which parents may use at
their own discretion.
- In
grades 3-5, assigning nightly homework is not required, and will only be
assigned when it is purposeful and meaningful. If assigned, students are
expected to spend no more than 30 minutes per night on these activities.
If parents prefer that their child be excused from homework assignments,
they will notify the teacher.
- In
grades 6-8, homework participation and completion is expected.
It is expected that all teachers will give students feedback on
their completed homework assignments. Homework accuracy and completion will not
be factored into a student’s academic performance or achievement grade.
Principals will determine the procedures for reporting homework on the report
card commensurate with each grade level.
