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) Pencil will not be accepted unless it is specified. Sloppy and crossed out work will not be accepted. All work that is handed in must be done on looseleaf, or 10pts. will be deducted from the grade.
B. **Any 7th or 8th grade students that attend Title 1 Math or Reading during Reading or Social Studies, must hand in all homework assignments and get notes from another classmate, so they do not fall behind in their notes. The same goes for students who are absent. A grade of zero will be entered until assignments are handed in.
C. All electronic devices are collected from each student upon entering the classroom and are returned before dismissal each day! See the school blog for further information.
D. Thursday, 3/17 Everyone can wear green in honor of St. Patrick
