Homework Guidance
The Calgary Board of Education makes recommendations about homework in an Administrative Regulation (see link on the right of this page). Assigning homework is up to the individual teacher, but students and parents are encouraged to set aside some regular time each evening for home study or recreational reading. The nature and amount of home study recommended are as follows:
- Division I (Grades 1 to 3) Parents and teachers should encourage children to read each evening. No formal assignments should be made, but from 5-10 minutes of systematic study per night is recommended.
- Division II (Grades 4 to 6) Formal homework assignments may be given at the discretion of the teacher. They should be within the 20 minute range. Questions about homework can be directed firstly to your child’s teacher.

S4 is a proactive, strengths-based model of teaching/learning where police, families, and schools partner together to actively build positive relationships, create safe communities and prepare children for the challenges of our complex, changing world.
