Homework is assigned by the teacher. Maximum daily homework limits are: Grade 1 - 20 minutes; Grades 2 and 3 - 30 minutes. Homework is an extension of the student's daily work, including studying for tests, working on projects, and reading for pleasure. Students' basic skills are evaluated by written tests, oral evaluation, and informal assessments.

Items are awarded for desired behavior, proper study skills, following class rules, cooperating with peers and faculty, completing class tasks, etc.
