Reminders:
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 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. Gym uniforms must be
worn by 5th graders on
Wednesdays for gym.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a
grade!
