Reminders:
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 (not because you were too tired or that you had too much other HW).
D. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted.
E. Please cover all textbooks and workbooks. A clear plastic cover is suggested.
F. Gym uniforms must be worn by 5th graders on Wednesdays for gym.
G. Students in the 5th grade will have extended day classes each Tuesday from 3:00-5:00 for Math.
H. Please check the study guides for Midterm Exams that are posted on each teacher’s blog.
I. Please sign and return the Progress Report that was handed out on Friday.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
