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. 6th grade parents, please sign the permission slip concerning a project that your children will be participating in this year. If your child does not return the permission slip, they will not be allowed to be involved in the project.
