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. Friday, 4/22 Report Card Distribution. There will be a 12:00 dismissal and the After School Program will be in session. Parent-Teacher Conferences will take place between the hours of 1:00PM-7:00PM. If your child does not receive his/her Report Card in school, someone must pick it up between 1:00-7:00.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
