PARENT INFORMATION:

Students should have homework EVERY NIGHT.

Students will keep, and collect, all of their work in a binder. I will check this binder from time to time. It should contain all of the in-class projects, homework assignments, papers, quizzes and tests that a student completes.

Please call me on the phone, send me an e-mail or a letter, or make an appointment to see me in person if you have questions or concerns. I welcome your input. I especially encourage you to attend parent nights and any of the extra-curricular events held throughout the year.

CLASSROOM RULES

Entering the classroom:
