Over the first quarter the 6th grade teachers have received a few emails and parent 
concerns regarding organization and long term project assignments.  Here are some 
suggestions.

1.) PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENT TO COPY DOWN THEIR HOMEWORK
      CAREFULLY !!! EVERY BIT OF WHAT IS WRITTEN WITHOUT  SHORTCUTTING
      IT FOR THEMSELVES !!!!!!!  
      Sometimes the students are shortcutting and therefore are not getting all that was to
      be done written down.

2.) PLEASE ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENT TO SEEK OUT HELP WITH THEIR
      ASSIGNMENTS IF THEY ARE CONFUSED.  They can sign up for team time with 
      any teacher almost every day of the week, ask during class, or talk with a fellow 
     classmate/homework buddy.

3.) GT STUDENTS- ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENT TO TALK WITH YOU AND THE 
     TEACHER ABOUT THEIR PROJECT OFTEN.- 
      If they are having troubles, they need to speak up.

4.) PARENTS - PLEASE REVIEW THE ASSIGNMENTS AND PROJECTS THAT YOUR
      STUDENT HAS WITH THEM. IF HANDOUTS ARE GIVEN PLEASE MAKE AN 
     ADDITIONAL COPY FOR YOURSELF AND OR ASK YOUR STUDENT TO SHOW 
     YOU THEIR WORK ON A CONSISTENT BASIS.- Many of the students do not ask for
    help. Please stay up to date with them so that they are not going to get behind in
     assignments. Write notes in the agenda book or e-mails whenever there is a
     question. ALSO- your students assignments are explained to them each day and 
     they are often given helpful hints and notes to add to the assignments that they 
     given.

5.) ENCOURAGE YOUR STUDENT TO COLOR CODE OR ORGANIZE THEIR 
      AGENDA BOOK SO THAT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO WRITE THINGS DOWN IN 
     THE WRONG PLACE.- Every week in Team the teachers encourage the students to
      color code their agenda books to help them stay organized.

6.) MISSING HOMEWORK STAMPS- CHECK YOUR STUDENTS AGENDA BOOK 
     FOR THESE. ALL 6TH GRADE TEACHERS USE THESE TO INDICATE MISSING 
     ASSIGNMENTS.- BE SURE TO QUESTION THEM ABOUT THE MISSED 
     ASSIGNMENT AND SIGN THE AGENDA BOOK PLEASE.- In every class the 
     students are asked to identify what assignments that they are receiving the stamp 
    for in the space next to the stamp.

7.) MOST IMPORTANATLY!!!!! ENCOURAGE YOUR CHILD TO PAY ATTENTION, 
      STAY ON TASK, AND PUT IN THEIR BEST EFFORTS.- We all want to see your 
     student be successful but we need your efforts and your student's efforts as well.
