Homework Guidelines

The Hillcrest homework guidelines for students grades K-2 are a critical part of our district-wide effort to achieve the following goals:  

  • An increase in students’ purposeful reading and understanding of fiction, and non-fiction, and informational texts across content areas.
  • Enhancing our students’ ability to clearly communicate through oral/written responses their understanding/identification of fictional and informational texts.
  • Nightly practice (with support as needed) of mathematical concepts and procedures learned in class.
  • Clear and consistent homework expectations district-wide for students.
