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. The NYS
Math Exam will be given this week on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Please
have sharpened #2 pencils with erasers available each day.
Remember
that homework and classwork count as a grade!
