Cascadia Homework Policy

We, as the staff of Cascadia, believe that organization, time management, perseverance and simply “being a kid” are important skills to develop. Because of this philosophy, daily or weekly homework will not be regularly assigned. Instead, we will be working at grade levels to develop several projects throughout the year. 

Students will have the opportunity to dive deep into these projects and share new knowledge with their community. Teacher may, from time to time, send home shorter assignments that are related to the learning in the classroom. We also highly encourage reading, physical activity, and participation in family life each evening. Teachers will provide resources for families interested in extending practice at home; however, this work will not be graded. 

Work completion from the school day is not considered homework. Teachers will work with families to help students complete the work at home if it is not done at school.
