Homework can nurture self-discipline and independent study habits. When parents show interest and become involved, the homework accomplishments can become a common goal and a time to work together. This offers the student instruction not always available at school. Taking an active role lets your child know that you consider the work important.
Late Assignments: HFCS expects timely completion of homework. Teachers may use discretion in accepting and/or grading late assignments.
HFCS offers after school homework help for students. Grades 3-5 can stay after school for homework room on Mondays-Thursdays from 3-4 pm. Middle School study hall is available with a certified teacher on Mondays-Thursdays from 3-4 pm. Scholarships are available for qualified families.
