Reminders and Important Information

Homework Signatures:

Please sign your child's homework in the School Planner EVERY night.

Behavior Calendar Signatures

I will be sending a Behavior Calendar home for every child once a week (usually on Friday) in a blue vinyl folder labeled Tests and Important Information.  If there are NO check marks on the calendar, that is a GOOD thing.  A check mark in any specific area indicates the need for improvement.  Please sign this on the bottom each week and return it in the blue folder.  There will be a new calendar for each month.

Tests

I will be sending home any tests that have been taken and graded once a week (usually on Friday) in a blue vinyl folder labeled Tests and Important Information.  Please sign each test and return them in the blue folder.  Tests will be shown on this website's calendar, and I will note them in the homework for the week.

Key Terms and Notes

Any notes taken during classes or my pre-printed Key Terms Sheets (as referenced above in homework) for any subject will be written on or attached to the pages of the copybooks for each subject.  This includes the pre-printed Spelling Word Sheet for each week which will be attached to one of the pages of your child's ELA Copybook.

Hot Lunches

The hot lunch program will be in full swing with the normal menu offerings and weekly specials starting this week.  Please check the school calendar for details. 

Pizza Day

Remember that this year Pizza Day has been changed to Monday of each week.  Each slice of pizza is $1.50.  Soda is $1.00.  Please send your child to school with the appropriate dollar amount if he or she wishes to have pizza for lunch.
