Homework at CHA is assigned by class and by discipline. Students are
required to complete their homework on the date it’s assigned to them,
and they should always put forth their best effort. If you are
concerned about the amount of time your child is spending on homework,
please keep in mind that all students learn differently and
work at different paces. What could take one hour for one student
could take up to two hours for another student. Remember this when you
talk to your child and your child’s teachers.
Teachers at CHA design homework assignments that:
-
compel students to think about what they learned in school
-
reinforce certain content-specific skills and concepts
-
hold students accountable for learning standards-based material
-
require students to think, reflect, read, and write
-
teach our students the value of practice and study
In addition to the ongoing homework assignments assigned by CHA
teachers, know that your child will always have reading homework. While
whole-class books are a required part of English classes, all students
also have ongoing independent reading assignments. Students may depend
on our school library to check out books for their independent reading
assignments. However, it is also encouraged that you take your child to
the Queens Public Library and/or start a home library if you can afford
to do so.
Our students are encouraged to extend their learning outside of school
and families should encourage and support their students to complete
extension assignments. In addition to nightly reading assignments,
please visit the following websites for extension assignments:
