RUHS Homework Policy:
The policy of Riverside University High School is to assign homework in all classes. Research has demonstrated that schools that require homework show higher student achievement tan schools that make little use of it. Increased homework time results in higher grades for students of all ability levels. Homework also develops responsibility, self-reliance and resourcefulness which are requisite skills for success in post-secondary endeavors. To this end, students must use the daily planner to record and monitor homework assignments. Homework is a component of the course grade.
