Parents

Folders are sent home each Friday to provide you with an overview of your child's accomplishments, both work and behavior. Test papers need to be returned in the folder, but all other work may be left at home. Please sign the Weekly Conduct sheet and return it on Monday.

Newsletters are sent in the weekly Friday folders and posted on the website. Please carefully read these, as they contain important dates, weekly activities, and other information that is pertinent for your child's success.

Homework assignments should be copied down by your child each morning. An assignment agenda has been provided. Please check these daily to ensure completion of work. When absent, students have five school days after returning to complete assignments.
