Revised Homework Policy


Dear parents,

This is to inform you that we have revised our homework policy for more effectiveness of students learning outcome which will be followed from 2nd Dec, 2018.

 After School Learning Practice

The learning happening inside the classroom need to be strengthened and reinforced so that what is learning is absorbed by mind. This is the aim of issuing after school works in the form of Home Works, Worksheets, etc. However the same should not be overloaded and should not encroach into the personal timings of the child in such a way he misses his family and friendly times in the social circle. In view of this school has decided to introduce an After School Learning system as follows:
The system is divided into three parts:

1.       HOME WORK (HW)– Aim of HW is to enforce what is learnt in the class on that day or the previous days. The HW will not be heavy but simple three to four activities or questions or memorization points so that the basic concepts learned would be absorbed in mind. This could also be given in the class notebook or from the Workbook given by the school. Questions will be uploaded in the blog or referred from the work book or given in the class note and will be informed by the teacher through blog communication .
2.       WORKSHEETS (W/S) – Aim of W/S is to further enforce the learning of concepts and above all to ensure the learning of application of the concepts, support and develop conceptual thinking and learning. The W/S will be normally consisting of 10 – 15 questions. Printed worksheets will be given from the school.
3.       OPTIONAL WORKSHEETS (Op W/S) – Aim of Op W/S is to cater to the needs of those children who are interested to put an extra mileage in learning and willing to put extra efforts to learn beyond the requirements. This is not compulsory and optional to anyone and would consisting of higher order thinking skills questions and might be out of the syllabus but relevant to the topic/lesson. This will be loaded in the blog so that anyone interested could note down the question numbers and answer against the same in the notebook. 

The above three will be issues as per the plan given below:
