As shared during Spilling the Tea, Greenwood students will be expected to complete meaningful homework throughout the school year. Homework should reinforce current or previously taught learning, align with what students are being assessed on, and provide opportunities for students to practice important skills. Homework will be tracked in PowerSchool for participation and accountability, with the grade beginning at 100% and being updated throughout each nine weeks so families can monitor their child’s progress. Students will lose 5 points for each missed assignment, with no more than 5 points deducted from the homework grade in any given week. Homework will not be completed on devices, as student devices will not be sent home until further notice. Teachers will check homework or provide feedback, and departmentalized teams will coordinate assignments and projects to ensure students are not overwhelmed with work from multiple teachers. Our goal is always balance and meaningful practice rather than excessive homework. As a general guideline, students should spend approximately 15 minutes per evening in kindergarten, 30 minutes in grades 1–2, 40 minutes in grade 3, and 60 minutes in grades 4–5. Finally, missed homework assignments will no longer count as an X in the RCA app.
