The Vernon Township Board of Education acknowledges the importance and validity of work assigned to students for completion outside the classroom. This is a necessary adjunct to and extension of the instructional program of the school.
Homework is an integral part of the program of studies in all courses at the high school. The frequency of assignments is determined to a great degree by the nature of the material and concepts being developed in each particular unit of study within any given course. The frequency and length of assignments will also vary based upon the level of the course offering. Homework assignments are given on a daily basis. Homework is assigned to accomplish one or more of the following functions:
1. Reinforcement and review of material covered in class;
2. Completion of projects or assignments begun in class;
3. Study and preparation for evaluative items such as tests or quizzes;
4. Practice necessary skills or problem solving techniques;
5. Application of principles and concepts developed in class;
6. Enrichment activities that supplement material covered in class; and
7. Introduce new material to be covered in class.

Homework requests are honored for students who will be absent for a minimum of three days. Please call the guidance office to request homework. Homework will be ready after 24 hours.
