Tuesday Folders should be returned and signed Wednesday with all filled out forms, money, and completed assignments. I will file the assignments in class and they will be returned to you at the end of the 9 week grading period.Please review the folder with your child and take out any tests that may be corrected. Return the graded work and forms on Wednesday morning

Planners should be signed daily by a parent. Their lessons will be reflected in their daily and any homework should be highlighted. Please feel free to utilize this as communication from home to school. I check their planners every morning and have let the students know that it is their responsibility to get their planner signed.

Homework is always due the next day unless otherwise instructed. Even if students finish in class, they are not allowed to turn in the assignment until the next day so they can be checked at home. The student’s binder will be their homework folder and all assignments should be in the front pocket. Students are typically not allowed by the office to come up to the classroom before or after school so make sure they keep up with their materials. The students are responsible for turning in their completed assignments on time. Any time there is a late paper, there will be 10 points deducted for each day it is late. Any missing work will be stated in the planner for you to know. Absent work will be ready for parents to pick up in the afternoon the day they are absent if the school is called in the morning. Otherwise, the students work will be ready for them when they return. The policy is one day to complete for each day absent. Students may correct tests for half of the credit missed on the test, with the exception of open book tests. They may also correct any papers that say “please correct.” Check Tuesday folders for any tests and work that may need to be corrected and return by Friday for credit. The students may correct when they find the correct answer and page number they found it on, with the exception of math. I take grades on everything, even if it is just a participation grade. I average their grades weekly so you may check their progress anytime. Report cards go out at the end of every 9 weeks.

The students have been read the rules and know the policies. I am here to help your child problem solve and make the right choices. If however, their behavior needs to be corrected, it will be reflected in their conduct grade. If the behavior persists, I will notify you. If you notice any issues that home or that you would like to address, please contact me and we can discuss how to help your child.

Students are expected to follow the uniform policies as stated in the handbook. Dress code infractions will be enforced based on the handbook procedure. If you are still waiting on uniforms to come in, please let me know.

I hope these few points will help you and your child out for the beginning of the year. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Our partnership will go a long way in sending a positive message to your child. Thank you for the opportunity to teach your child. I am very excited for this year! I look forward to our new relationship together and I know with our cooperation, your child will excel!
