Homework Policy: 
My opinion on assigned homework is that often it becomes busy work. Instead of assigning homework, I encourage all students to strive to read for 20 minutes each day. This can be a combination of at school and at home. Check our this graphic that shows the benefits of this!

Alongside reading, sometimes unfinished work will be sent home to be finished after ample time is given in class.
