Homework Diaries and Book Bags

Homework is recorded in homework diaries and kept in plastic wallets (book bags) to take between school and home. The book bags are the property of the Elementary and will remain the property of each class at the end of the school year. The book bags will contain your child’s homework books, readers, reading logs, and school notices. Please check them daily to ensure continuous home and school communication and for daily readers and homework activities. If the bags are lost or misplaced by children, the school will be billing families for 100 NIS per bag. School readers cost 50 NIS and reading logs cost 25 NIS to replace.

Please ensure that your child has a school bag large enough to accommodate the book bags along with the library bag and other personal items without having to fold the folder or risk damaging books.

Homework

Students at AISJ have a very full day and need time with their family and friends in the evenings and at weekends to be involved in their own and their family's interest and activities. In formulating a schedule for homework, the staff at AISJ look to the family, particularly in the early years, to help encourage their children to enjoy learning as part of the activities families do together.
Homework is also designed to reinforce the work done in the homeroom; as students move from level to level, the amount of homework gradually increases, but the quality of the students' answers is at least as important as the amount of homework set or completed. Parents should contact their child's Homeroom Teacher in the first instance if they feel that their child has been given too much homework, or if the work set seems too difficult. Parents need to interact with and support their children in the homework is to be effective.
