School Supplies
If for some reason a student does not complete his or her in-class assignments, it MUST be completed for homework.
Any incomplete classroom assignments will not be written on the board with the homework. It is the student’s responsibility to remember to write it down and take it home to finish.
Classwork
Homework
Homework is an extension of what is learned in school, therefore written homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday. There will be days that homework is not assigned. Students will be writing their homework in their planner when it is assigned. It is important to check their planners daily.
Chromebooks need to be brought home every day to be charged and brought back to school the next day.
Your child will be responsible for his/her take-home folder every day. It will be my
way of communicating with you about classroom plans, school events, and other activities as they arise.
All letters/money/etc. must be placed in an envelope with the student’s name.
Students will check the folders and turn in notes.
This is also a wonderful way to introduce responsibility and
organizational skills to your child.
This folder should be checked and returned to school every day.
Please do not remove items from the folder unless they are
school memos.
