Week of January 12, 2015

Reminders:

These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:

B. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).  

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

D. 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). 

E. Please cover the New York Progress book. A clear plastic cover is suggested.

F. Gym uniforms must be worn on Thursdays for gym.

H. No classes on Friday 1/16 and Monday 1/19
