Reminders:


 1. These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
       A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors 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 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 or you were sick.

      D. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted.

2. Tuesday is Gym for the 5th Grade. Remember to wear Gym uniform.

3. Report Cards and Honor Awards will be distributed on Tuesday, 11/13. Report Card Assembly will be at 9:00 AM. Parent/teacher conferences from 2:00-7:00. The school closes promptly at 7:00, so make sure you are there before that time. Each conference is limited to 10 minutes so that every parent has time to speak to each teacher.

5. Please send in as many canned foods as possible this week. This food will be distributed to the poor and homeless for Thanksgiving. Cans will only be collected this week so they may be packed in baskets.
