Appointments

If your child has a medical appointment and returns to school that day, please bring a note from the doctor’s office.

 Please try to do the best that you can to set your child’s appointments for later in the day.

I know that that can’t always happen but please do the best that you can.

Arrival Time

When your child comes to school each morning he/she will either go to the Cafeteria for breakfast or sit outside my classroom before 7:45.

 The first bell rings at 7:45 and the tardy bell rings at 8:00, then class begins.

 Please remember that it is important for your child to be on time each and every day.

If your child is tardy, a parent or guardian must accompany the child into the school and sign the book at the front desk and receive a slip from Mrs.Hagen.

Belongings

Your child is RESPONSIBLE for his/her belongings.

Please do your best to set up routines at home to insure that your child comes to school every day with the proper supplies.

Birthdays

The Birthday Policy will be different this year.  We will not be able to have food

H

CUURENTLY NO HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS

Homework

Your child will receive homework nightly beginning in October.

It is your child’s responsibility to do his/her very best on the work provided each night.

If you find that your child is taking a considerable amount of time each night to complete the assignments, please contact me.

 Your child will also be required to work on his/her reading stamenia each night as well.

 Many times this isn’t considered homework in that this is a practice that

your child should already be in a habit of doing by this point in their education.

 Parents should also get in the practice of checking homework

nightly to make sure that your child did his/her best work and understands what he/she is doing.

HOMEWORK GUIDELINES

Homework is to be done in PENCIL (unless directions are given to use crayons).

• Homework should be done neatly.
  Parents will need to initial each homework page nightly.
