| Is there homework in AAP only grades? If so, how much and at what grade does it start? |

Totally depends on the school/team/teacher.
This year my son does not have any. Last year he did. |

Q: What does homework look like at each grade level for the Level IV classes?
6th grade has up to an hour of HW nightly, depending on how students organize and focus on academic tasks during the day. Students balance prepping/completing assignments for the next class and reviewing concepts learned in class for homework. Students also use time outside of school to work on on-going projects regularly. Students are expected to read daily. 5th grade completes weekly homework. Homework is sent home on Monday, and it’s due back on Friday. It usually includes 10-15 math problems and a short Caesar’s English assignment. A student should also read 20 minutes per night and are expected to finish incomplete work at home if necessary. It typically is about 1-2 hours for the entire week. 4th grade assigns homework digitally (via Schoology) on Mondays. Students have until the following Sunday evening to complete their assignments, and they can decide on their own how they want to manage their time. Students can complete assignments on weeknights or wait until the weekend. Students are not given time during the school day to complete homework. 3rd grade assigns a homework packet given out on Monday, and students turn it in the following Monday. One Math practice sheet per day tied with what was taught that day and 20 minutes of reading each day. |

| Our center is a “no homework school” so no. Like so kany things on this board (and in FCPS in general) this varies and is not consistent across all schools. |

| In Grade 5 so far, they just finish what they didn’t finish in school. So far, its just math and maybe 20 minutes or so. |

| 3rd grader in AAP. No homework yet, but we haven't even finished the second week of school. In 2nd grade I don't think homework started until a month in. |

There were so many worksheets. It was so crazy! I felt it was a lot like how I imagined Kumon. |

| 4th Grade at a center. No homework this year or last. They are expected to read for 20 minutes/night, and complete "study guides" before math tests, so the teacher can see where extra review is needed. Last year the study guide took maybe 40 minutes, spread over a few days. |

Wow, this is nuts! Our AAP 3rd grader had zero homework other than some vocabulary words she had to learn every week and an occasional project that needed extra work to be completed. |
