Reminders:
These are a few reminders
concerning homework and classwork:
A. All school supplies
should have been in today.
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. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors
will not be accepted).
D. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or
illegible will not be accepted.
E. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a
not 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).
F. Please cover the New York Progress book. A clear plastic
cover is suggested.
G. Gym uniforms must be worn on Thursdays for gym.
H. Please check the blog daily for updated homework assignments
