Reminders:
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted) and pencil is not allowed.
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 is
unacceptable.
C. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a note
from a parent explaining why you did not complete your HW.
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 or illegible
will not be accepted.
E. Each child has a book to read. He/she should take notes while reading the book (write them on loose-leaf or index cards). A test will be given every week on the chapters assigned to be read for that week. Your child will be allowed to use both notes and the book for the test. 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 replace it!
F. Remember to cover the Reading Skills Practice, Reading Practice Book, and Social Studies Workbook.
*G. Mass on Wednesday, Oct. 5 at 9:00 for St. Francis of Assisi. Your child may bring their animals to school to be blessed. All cats and dogs must be brought by an adult to the church and taken home after Mass. The Mass will be hosted by the students of the 5th Grade. All Parents are welcome to attend.
*H. Fifth Grade students will wear gym uniforms on Monday and Friday of this week!
