Ho'okele's Homework Policy

Click link below to view Ho'okele’s homework policy http://hookele.hidoe.us/homework-policy.html

The AVID Binder is used to organize your child's homework, planner, and assignments in the various core subjects. Your child will bring the binder home and return to school daily. Please encourage your child to keep their binders neat and organized every quarter. They are taught how to arrange their binders in class.

The planner should be where students refer to their assignments and where parents sign daily to acknowledge completed assignments. The daily homework assignments will be posted on our class website, but is subject to change. Homework should take approximately 90 minutes every evening to complete (unless there is unfinished work from class which may take longer. Parents are encouraged to discuss homework assignments with their child as this will foster a deeper understanding of the material. 

Example of Daily Homework: (Subject to change)
Independent Reading/Fluency Practice (30 minutes)
Math (Ready Math) (20 minutes)
Storyworks/Scholastic News(20 minutes)
Vocab/Spelling/Grammar (20 mins)


Note:: Time spent on homework will fluctuate due to child's individual differences

Here are some tips for helping your child with homework:
  • Have a weekly meeting with your child to plan out homework. I will update the students “homework” page weekly. Please use this as a guide to keep up with tests and projects. Use your child's AVID Student Planner to set a schedule for the week.
  • Set a timer for your child; have him/her estimate how long each assignment will take and set the timer for that amount of time. Timing each assignment helps to keep the child on task.
  • If homework is taking more than 1 1/2 hours per night, please let me know and we will figure out what exactly is the problem and how we can come up with a solution.
Let's work together to help your child succeed: 
  • Review child’s homework and ensure it is completed and sign planner daily.
  • Ensure your child has given you any forms, flyers, or communication notes from school/teacher.
  • Set aside a quiet, properly lit place for homework to be done.. Provide necessary materials for child to do homework (pencils, ruler, etc.). 
  • Establish a daily routine that includes homework time. 
  • Guide and encourage child to do best in homework, but do not do the work for the child. 
  • Support child and communicate concerns with the teacher. 
  • Talk with child and discuss what he/she is learning or trying to learn.
