Homework
The challenging program at St. John's Lutheran School has always required that some study be done at home. This is not only necessary for accomplishing our immediate goals, but it is also a helpful habit for future education. The amount of homework depends on the grade level and upon the ability and study habits of the child. Parents can help by providing encouragement and a quiet place to study. Providing too much help is to be avoided. If your child is unable to complete his assignment for any reason, kindly send an explanatory note so he may make up the work at a later date. If assignments are consistently burdensome, the teacher will appreciate such information so the problem can be alleviated. Since the classrooms in grades 5-8 are departmentalized, there is more opportunity for overload of assignments. The teachers involved need to be informed if your child finds the assignments burdensome. If a child is absent due to illness, the child will be allowed two days for each school day missed to complete their homework.
