Reminders:
These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
A. All school supplies should have been in today.
B. Please sign the permission slip in your child’s Reading Folder and return tomorrow signed.
C. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).
D. 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 are unacceptable).
E. 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).
F. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted.
G. Gym uniforms must be worn by 5th graders on Wednesdays for gym.
H. Some children have still not brought in their school supplies. I sent a note home on Friday if your child was missing something.
I. Extended Day classes will begin tomorrow. The fifth grade will attend extended day class for Math on Tuesday with Mr. Placido and on Wednesday for ELA with Ms. Serewko. The classes will begin at 3:00 and finish at 5:00.

K. Please check the blog daily for updated homework assignments or notifications.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
