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. Gym uniforms must be worn by 5th graders on
Wednesdays for gym.
F. There will be a trip to Mother Cabrini Chapel on Tuesday,

attend. All students must be in full uniform.
