uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Mondays and Tuesdays for gym

Halloween. The children may wear costumes to school. They should bring their
lunch, something to drink (for themselves- no big bottles or glass bottles), a
bag of candy to give out during the PreK costume parade, and something to share
with the class (napkins, plates, donuts, cupcakes, cookies, chips, candy). Please
let your child know what you would like to send in so I can make a list. You
can send the snacks in before Friday if you would like to.
C. Calendars
for the month of November will be sent home on Friday. Please check your child’s
bag for it.
D. Make
sure to read Mr. Wood’s blog for other important information.

A. All classwork/homework
must be completed in blue or black ink
(other colors will not be accepted). NO PENCIL!
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). There will be points deducted for every day your assignment is
late. After the 2nd day, the assignment will not be accepted.
D.
Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted. Crossing out is
unacceptable!
