If caught, the student WILL be paddled and written up. 4. Other offenses may cause the student to receive conduct marks. For every conduct mark, five points is deducted from the student's weekly conduct grade.

Students must complete homework as assigned. Failing to do so will result in a lower grade for the student, as homework counts as a percentage of the final average. If a student does not complete homework, he or she will have points deducted, then stay in from P.E. to complete the assignment anyway. Homework is NOT given as punishment - it is given to help the students learn the material and prepare for testing!! Click the link below to see current homework assignments:

We welcome parents to our room! One of the best ways you can help your child with his or her education is to be INVOLVED! A great way to do this is volunteering through PTO. Membership is $3.00, and guardians and extended family members may join. PTO meetings put you in touch with the teachers and administrators, and they allow you to become more aware of your child's educational environment.
Parents may schedule conferences by calling the school. My planning period is from 7:55 to 8:25 everyday. To ensure that you get as much time as possible, please be sure to schedule at least 24 hours in advance!
When a student misses a day of school, he or she must bring an excuse within TWO days upon returning. This must be done in order to make up any work the student might have missed. If you would like to come pick up assignments for an absent student, please call the office to let them know you will be coming by, then come after school. This way, the student's work will be ready without having taken away any learning time from any students at school.

Students begin the school year with a list of supplies they need for class. It is important that students always have paper and pencils (these are the supplies that run out the quickest!). We also have a shortage of Kleenex and community notebook paper in our room. If you would like to send these items with your child, he or she will get extra points for bringing them in!
