Reminders:
1. All school supplies should be in by now. Points will be deducted
from Conduct Grades for not following school rules.
2. All parent signature forms should have been handed in by last

3. As stated on last week's blog, these are a few reminders
concerning homework and classwork:
A. All work must be completed in
blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).
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 not 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. Remember to cover the Reading
Workbook. If the cover is ripped, please put cardboard or some
type of backing to reinforce it.
4. Thursday is Gym for the 5th Grade. Remember to wear Gym uniform.
5. Read the school blog to find out about wearing shorts on Friday.
6. Please check the blog daily for updated HW and notes.
Remember that homework and
classwork count as a grade!
There will be a weekly quiz every Friday in Reading and on Monday
in Social Studies! It will be based on what is done in class that week.
