Weekly Reminders:
GRADE 4-HOMEROOM
A. Gym
uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Mondays and Tuesdays for gym
unless students are told differently.
B. Please
send in a large shopping bag by Wednesday (like the type you get in Marshalls
or TJ Max- no paper). The bag must be strong because the children will be
packing all the books that they will leave in school over the Christmas
vacation. The desks will be cleaned so everything needs to be emptied out of
them. Please let your child know what books you would like them to bring home
for the vacation, so we do not pack them up. Anything that does not fit in the
shopping bag will have to go home.
C. Wednesday,
12/18, Lessons and Carols at 8:30 in the church. Ms. Alma will let the children
know what they need to wear. Every class will sing a song. Parents are welcome
to attend.
D. Thursday,
12/19, 8th Grade Cake Sale. Classroom clean up!
E. Friday,
12/20, 12:00 Dismissal- No After School Program.
Class Party- the
children can wear dress-up clothes and do not need to bring their bookbags. Everyone
should bring in something small to share
with the class (no chips or soda- since it will be too early) either some
cookies or donuts. They should also bring in something for themselves to drink.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRADES 6,
7, 8
A. All classwork/homework
must be completed in blue or black ink
(other colors will not be accepted). NO PENCIL!
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). There will be points deducted for every day your assignment is
late. After the 2nd day, the assignment will not be accepted.
D.
Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible will not be accepted. Crossing out is
unacceptable!
E.
Remember homework counts as part of the total grade!
