Weekly Reminders:
These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
A. All classwork/homework must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).
B. If an 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. No school today, Monday, 10/23 due to a Teachers’ Conference in St. Charles Borromeo.
F. Gym uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Tuesdays and Fridays for gym, unless students are told differently.
G. Progress Reports were sent home Friday, 10/20. Please sign and return on Tuesday.
H. Halloween is next Tuesday, October 31st. The children in grade 4 may wear their costumes to school. They can also bring in $3.00 if they want to have pizza (by Monday). They also should bring in something to drink (only for themselves) and some type of treat to share with the class- ex. donuts, cupcakes, cookies, or chips. Please let your child know what you can send in so I can make sure everyone is not bringing in the same treat. The children are also asked to bring in some candy to give out to the PreK (5 classes) and Kindergarten (2 classes) during their Halloween parade.
I. The children of the 4th grade will be hosting the All Saints Day Mass on Wednesday, November 1 at 9:00 AM. All parents are invited to attend. Please make sure that if your child is reading at the mass, that you practice their reading with them. It will either be in their missalette or folder.
J. Please check the blog daily for updated homework assignments or notifications.
