Week of September 25, 2017

Weekly Reminders:
These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:      
A. All classwork/homework must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).  

B. If an assignment states that looseleaf is to be used, no other types of paper will be accepted (paper that is 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. MAP testing begins today (Monday) for students in grades K-8. The testing will continue through 9/29. The students will be tested in Math, Language Arts, and Reading.

G. Gym uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Tuesdays and Fridays for gym, unless students are told differently.

H. Today, Monday 9/25 there will be a 12:00 dismissal due to a Faculty Meeting. The ASP will still be in session.

I. Please check the blog daily for updated homework assignments or notifications.

Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
