Homework:

The Boston Public Schools’ homework policy is:

All Students will receive homework Monday-Friday. However, this is up to the teacher’s discretion. In order to be academically successful students must complete ALL HOMEWORK assigned. Homework will be relevant to the classroom lessons and reinforces the skills necessary for our students to succeed.

The Instructional Leadership team is working to write a policy for BCLA-McCormack. If you have thoughts about what homework should look like on our campus, please email Dr. Dorman at sdorman@bostonpublicschools.org.
