Ridgefield Public Schools Establishes New Homework Regulations
After a year-long study involving all levels of faculty and administration, student surveys, parent focus groups, and community feedback in letters and e-mails, the district has finalized the new homework regulations. The integration process will involve a soft roll-out focusing on three key areas:
- Professional learning for our faculty
- Communications to parents and students
- Evaluation and refinement as needed
The regulations are defined beginning with the purpose and emphasis by level, then broken out by what we expect of the student and the teacher, and how parents can help. Additionally, there are practices that place limitations on homework on the weekends, holidays, and vacation, and how much (if any) can count toward a student’s overall grade and more.
We invite you to review the new homework regulations.
