Reminders:
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not
be accepted) and pencil will also not be accepted unless it is
specified.
B. If the assignment states that looseleaf is to be used, no other types of
paper will be accepted (paper ripped out of notebooks or legal
pads are unacceptable).
C. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a note
from a parent explaining why it is not complete.
This will only be accepted if there is an emergency at home (not
because you were too tired or that you had too much other HW).
D. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy, crossed out or
illegible will not be accepted.
E. Book Tests will be given next week on your child’s assigned book. Please check
the date below for the correct date. Your child will be allowed to use their
notes during the test, but not the book. The book must be returned on the
day of the test. A new book will not be given to your child until the
previous one is returned. If the book gets lost or damaged, your
child must pay for it.
F.The children should wear their school uniforms tomorrow since there will be
no gym or computer classes this week.
G.Test papers will be sent home on Wednesday of this week. Please sign each
paper and return them and folder by Friday.
H. Progress Reports will be distributed on Thursday. If you do not receive one,
please contact the school office.
I. ITBS testing begins next week. Please make sure that your child has at least
three #2 sharpened pencils with clean erasers each day until testing is over.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
