 On what days will the teacher/parent communication folder come home?
The communication folder will go home with your child approximately every 
two weeks depending on the content.  One side of the communication folder 
will say "Keep at Home" and the other side will say "Sign and Return".  
Please review the tests/assignments and sign each one.  They should remain 
in the folder and the folder should be returned the next day.  Please read 
teacher comments and feel free to respond.  Your child's performance will be 
noted for you.

 How may I reach the teacher in the evening if I have a question?
At open house I will provide you with my e-mail address at home and at 
school.  I will also provide you with the school telephone number, my cell 
number, and my home number.  I encourage parents to call if they have ANY 
question.  I feel that open communication between parent, teacher, and child 
is vital to a child's success.

 What if my child did not have time to finish an assignment?
I am a parent, too.  There are nights that sports and other extra-curricular 
activities may interfere with homework.  Simply write me a note explaining 
that your child did not have time to finish the assignment.  They may do it 
the next night and bring it in to class.

 What if my child is going to be absent for several days /weeks due to a trip?
Please write a note and I will forward it to the office.  I will try to have 
your child's work prepared for them in advance.  For those assignments they 
missed, that were not given in advance, the students have 1 week from the 
time they return to make up the work (unless it is the end of the grading 
period).

welcome you anytime.
