Homework Policy
(An excerpt from page 13 of 07-08 Student Handbook)

It is the firm belief of the West Carteret High School Faculty and Administration that homework provides a necessary foundation for continued progress with school lessons. We also believe homework should be used to reinforce the concept or skill taught in class. Students must complete homework to adequately prepare them for the next lesson. For this reason, any student without his/her homework will be assigned to homework time (a socially secluded lunch area where the student will work on his/her homework)

• Student will be assigned one day of homework time for each occurrence of no homework.

• 1st and 2nd periods will serve the day of no homework.

• 3rd and 4th periods will serve the day following no homework.

• Student must report directly to homework time (room #117) upon reporting to lunch.

• Students will be taken as a group to the cafeteria to get lunch and return to homework time.

Consequences for not serving with homework time:

• Student will be assigned an extra day of homework time if he/she does not report.

• Students failing to serve either of the two days will be assigned weekend homework time
(Fridays from 3-5pm with a personal escort the last minutes of 4th period from an administrator or designee)
