Teachers: The ACPS Homework Committee requests that you participate in a follow-up survey to help evaluate implementation of the changes made to the school division’s homework policy last May. Parents and students (grades 4-12) have been invited to respond to the survey as well:

Dear Parents, Students & Teachers:

Last year our school division formed a committee of administrators, teachers, and counselors to conduct a comprehensive review of our homework policy. The committee engaged in research and study, met with several internal and external advisory groups, and evaluated feedback provided by more than 2,100 parents and students and 275 teachers to an online survey.

The committee then drafted new homework guidelines with a focus on the purpose, quality and quantity of the work assigned, and with an emphasis on student health. In May 2016, the school board approved amendments to Policy IKB, with the expectation that teachers would incorporate the changes in the current school year.

Now that we are into the third quarter of our year, we would like to evaluate how we are doing with the implementation of the new policy. Your help will be very important, and we ask that you participate in a follow-up survey that should take 5-10 minutes to complete.

Click here to take the survey by May 4.
(Please select the survey appropriate to your role in the community.)

On behalf of our homework committee, thank you for your partnership and for taking the time to provide your opinion.

Sincerely,

Tim Driver
Chair, Homework Committee
Assistant Principal, Western Albemarle High School
