 What is a portfolio and how will my child use a portfolio?
Your child will be given a folder that will hold all of his finished work for the current 9 weeks.  A 
portfolio is a way to measure growth through out the school year for your child.  The portfolio system is 
also a way for your child to organize his or her work every week.

 How can I review my child's work in the classroom?
It is highly recommended that you purchase a 7 pocket folder for your child at the beginning of the 
school year.  During the week, your child will place his or her assignments in the 7 pocket folder.  
This includes finished assignments and homework.  The 7 pocket folder will also be carried from 
school to home during the week.  
 You may request at any time to see your child's 7 pocket folder to see weekly assignments.  On 
most Fridays, we will be transfering finished items from the 7 pocket folder to portfolios.  You may 
request to see your child's portfolio at any time.  At the mid point of the 9 weeks and also at the end 
of the 9 weeks your child will be bringing home his or her portfolio.
