News to Know
I sent home the Independent Study contract form home with many students last week. Also attached is the School Code of Conduct. Please fill out both and return, so if your child misses a day, they can get credit for it.
Reading logs are currently going back and forth between school and home. This is a way to record their nightly, at home reading. They are responsible for a minimum of 4 at home readings of 20 minutes or longer each week. A parent needs to initial the at home readings to verify that students are actually reading at home.
Reading logs go home on Monday and are turned in on the following Monday.
Please use the agenda to check for homework and to also see what your child does each day! Homework will be circled in the agenda.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
