Reminders:
As stated on last week's blog, these are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork. Your child will lose points if they do not follow the directions stated below.
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted) Pencil will not be accepted unless it is specified. Sloppy and crossed out work will not be accepted. All work that is handed in must be done on looseleaf, or 10pts. will be deducted from the grade.
B. **Any 7th or 8th grade students that attend Title 1 Math or Reading during Reading or Social Studies, must hand in all homework assignments and get notes from another classmate, so they do not fall behind in their notes. The same goes for students who are absent. A grade of zero will be entered until assignments are handed in.
C. All electronic devices are collected from each student upon entering the classroom and are returned before dismissal each day! See the school blog for further information.
D. Tomorrow, 4/18 we will be having a small Easter Party in the afternoon. The children should bring $3.00 for pizza and something to drink. They can also bring whatever else they would like to share with the class. They can wear nice clothes (no jeans), because we will be attending the Stations of the Cross at 10:30. Each child must bring their bookbags, because there will be classes in the morning. There will be a 3:00 dismissal.
E. Please remember to send in a large bag tomorrow, so that your child can pack the books they will be leaving in school over the vacation. The desks and floors will be cleaned and I do not want the books to get wet or lost. Also, make a list of the books that you would like your child to bring home over the vacation, so that they can pack them in their bookbag.
