Week of November 11, 2013

Reminders:
1. 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. Your child is responsible for all books that belong to the school.

2. Monday is extended day Math for 5th Grade.

3. Friday, 11/15, there is a 12:00 dismissal due to a Faculty Meeting.

4. Please remember to bring in canned food for the poor. We will be collecting them throughout the month of November.

Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
