A REMINDER TO PARENTS
* You are the single most important factor in the success of your child in
school. Your support is important to us.
* Parents can keep track of missing work and daily behavior by checking the
student’s agenda. Please stay informed by checking your child’s agenda and
homework every day.
* Agendas and Teacher Web are tools all 5th grade teachers use to enable you
to keep track of your child’s daily class work and important announcements.
Please utilize these tools. Teacher Web can be accessed by visiting the
school’s website at www.wcschools.com, or by going directly to
www.TeacherWeb.com.
* We hope you will encourage your child to use his/her time in school
wisely. Organization is the key to success in fifth grade. Help us by
teaching your child how to be organized. Make sure students have school
supplies replenished throughout the school year.
