Friday Folders are sent home every Friday we are in school. If there is a Friday holiday, folders will be sent home on Thursday (or the following Monday if we are off on Thursday too). Please return them on Monday signed.  The folder also has your child's work for that week. Any questions can be written in the planner and we will contact you if necessary.

We follow the 7 point grading scale as follows.
   
A ::100-94 C ::84-78
A- ::93 C- ::77
B ::92-86 D ::76-71
B- ::85 D-70
  F ::69 and below

 

Late work is accepted on these conditions. Any assignment not turned in on due date can be turned in before day's end Friday of that week. If an assignment has not been turned in, the student loses Fabulous Friday to make up the work. A student receives a "number 6" for each assignment not turned in on time. 10 points will also be deducted from late work. If a student turns in the work one day late, we will remove the number 6.

Make up work will be given to child the day they return to school. We do not give assignments prior to vacation unless given several weeks notice. All make up work is due within 2 school days.

S.T.A.R. (Students Taking Academic Responsibility) notebooks come home daily. It should be signed daily!

The Notebook contains student planner, a 2 pocket divider for homework and school notes, and a sheet protector for block schedule and lunch menus. Entries are made daily so please look at all of the sections. PLEASE SIGN AND RETURN FOLDER EACH DAY!

Planners are sold for $4 at school. Students are responsible for writing assignments in a planner each day before leaving. I will do a quick check whenever possible and I post homework online everyday. Please do not ask me to email assignments to you. They are already available on the homework page.

Parents should sign the planner each night. It will also let you know of any numbers your child received.

Snacks are allowed. 

Snacks need to be nutritious. We will not allow students to have candy, chocolate, or fast food for snack. We also ask that families donate a few snacks yearly for Fab Friday celebrations. A calendar with your family's Friday will be sent home at the beginning of the year.
