Reminders:
As stated on last week's blog, these are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork. Your child will lose points if they do not follow the directions stated below.
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted) and pencil will not be accepted unless it is specified. Sloppy and crossed out work 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 are unacceptable).
C. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a note from a parent explaining why it is not complete. This will only be accepted if there is an emergency at home (not that you were too tired or that you had too much other HW).
D. **Any 7th or 8th grade students that attend Title 1 Math or Reading during Social Studies, must hand in all homework assignments and get notes from another classmate, so they do not fall behind in their notes.
E. Test papers will be sent home this week for you to look over and sign. Please look for them in your child’s HW folder.
F. Please remember to read the school blog!
G. The fifth grade will be organizing the Thanksgiving Mass on Weds. 11/24 at 9:00. All parents are invited to attend.
H. Please remember canned food for the poor
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
