1. Please use the check off system in the assignment notebook to help your child do/organize/return their homework. We are checking off the first box in front of the subject as we pack the work in our backpacks at the end of the day. After your child has completed each assignment and packed it back into their backpack, they should be checking off the second box in front of the subject. 2. Please put a parent signature on the assignment notebook page each night so that I know you have encouraged your child to complete their homework and use the check off system. 3. Please send notes on a separate piece of paper, not written in the assignment notebook, especially if it's a dentist or doctor appointment or vacation. The office needs to verify these notes. 4. Create a quiet place and time for your child to do their homework. 5.When your child has an absence, please help them to review what has been taught on the days missed. Please send work back to school in a timely manner.Also, please send a note explaining the reason for their absence. Thanks!
