Week of December 4, 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 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 4th graders on Tuesdays and Fridays for gym unless students are told differently.

F. NYS DOH Immunization Inspection 
IMPORTANT 
Mr. Woods was notified on Friday that OLQM will undergo an audit of ALL students’ immunization records before December 15th - no exact date was set.
This same audit happened approximately 
15 years ago.
If students did not have immunizations up to date a letter was sent home by the NYSDOH informing the parent that their child 
COULD NOT RETURN TO SCHOOL until the records were updated.  
Alba and Mr. Guzman will be calling parents this week and it must be addressed immediately -
this is not a manana moment!   
This is beyond the school's control!
