  • Homework Tips for Students:  *Do your homework.  *Schedule your time wisely.  *Allot a certain amount of time every night for homework and study.  *Don’t wait until an assignment is due - start early.  *Keep track of your homework assignments and their due dates. Check Schoology.  *If you are absent, check Schoology for missed work and check in with your teachers the day you return.  *If you schedule your time wisely, you shouldn’t have to spend too much time doing homework.
