• Please talk about what your child is doing for lunch each day.  We are still having some trouble with students not understanding the DIFFERENCE between snack and lunch!  I appreciate you taking the time and talking with your child:)
• Please make sure to go through your child’s folder each night, look at  your child’s work (see how they did), look at behavior, read any notes and sign in each day.  Looking at your child’s work and behavior will give you an idea of how your child is doing in class.  If your child is unable to complete any work in class, it will be sent home for homework and expected to be brought back the next day completed.  Thank you for your cooperation!
