Madison Parents Asked to Provide Input in a Revised Homework Policy

Madison school officials want to know how parents feel about the district’s current homework policy as they are in the process of updating it.

“Our school district is currently revisiting our homework practices. A committee of educators representing all levels of our district has been working to update our district-wide homework policy,” said Thomas Scarice, schools superintendent.

“We anticipate that any proposed changes will be ready for the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year. As a part of this process, we are conducting parent focus groups to gather parent input,” Scarice said.

For any parents interested in participating, or if they could not attend the morning focus group at Jeffrey School on Wednesday, parents are encouraged to attend on Tuesday, May 26 at 7 p.m. in the Daniel Hand High School Library Media Center.

If you would like to join, please RSVP to David Buller at bullerd@madison.k12.ct.us.

“We hope to see you there,” Scarice said. “Additionally, if you cannot attend but would like to contribute your thoughts, please use the same email address to submit your comments.
