8/29 Homework Notice Newsletter Copy

This is an exact copy of the newsletter that went home today on the Homework Notice.


HOMEWORK NOTICES/GRADED WORK FOLDER
As discussed at Back-To-School Night, these are be returned to school on Thursdays.
This is a way for us to be in contact & understanding throughout the school year, so we don't have to wait until the conferences for a full update.

AGENDA SIGNED
As discussed at Back-To-School Night, your signature in the Agenda indicates that you have seen what was assigned for homework, as well as any reminders. We may also use this for communication. This is a way for us to be in contact & understanding throughout the school year.

EMAIL
Parents with questions (and email access) may contact me any time. mgbair@yahoo.com

"NO, I DID THAT ONE!!!"
Are you reviewing this notice and your child is telling you "I did that one already!"
It certainly is possible. But was it turned in? Students are encouraged to look inside their folders, desks, backpacks, and No Name Board if s/he believes that the assignment has been completed. Students should show me any late work so that I may enter it into the grade book.

"WELL TELL YOUR TEACHER YOU NEED THE MISSING WORK!!!"
Students may take the Master Copy Binder to the office to make the copies they need.
These are labeled in a Fourth-Grade-Friendly way so that students may do this independently.

"WHEN WAS THIS ASSIGNED?"
The date you see for each assignment is the date that it was assigned, NOT the date that it was due.

WONDERING IF YOU ARE SEEING ALL OF THE WORK?
If you are at all concerned that your child may be "lifting" work they do not want you to see, you might want to pick up the envelope or have a sibling pick it up for you. On Wednesday I have car line, so if you would like me to hand-deliver it to you then, I can. Please contact me to make any special arrangements.

PARENT TEACHER CONFERENCES
Almost all have been scheduled. Jamie, David, Frida, Dominik, and Tariq are not yet scheduled. Parents, please contact me to schedule an appointment. Thank you. mgbair@yahoo.com
