Homework Policy The Warren County Board of Education recognizes regular, purposeful homework as an essential component of the instructional process at Warren County Technical. Homework is an integral factor in fostering the academic achievement of students and in extending school activities into the home and the community. Regular homework provides opportunities for developmental practice, drill, the application of skills already learned, and the development of independent study skills, enrichment activities, and self-discipline. Homework should provide reinforcement and extension of class instruction, and should serve as a basis for further study and preparation for future class assignments. In light of the major purposes for homework, it is not to be assigned as punishment for students or for disciplinary reasons. Honor Roll: Students will have attained Honor Roll if they receive a marking period average of 85 or above where no grade is below an 80 and no grades are incomplete.
