because it reinforces what they

have learned in school.

acknowledged. Every so often there maybe something to fill out. Please do so and

return to their folder. Their folders are

checked daily, along with their homework.

phone number so that, with yourpermission, they may call their friend in

case they are confused with that evenings

assignment.

Lateness and Attendance

As in any school, attendance is extremely

important. It is only when your child attends

school on a daily basis that they can learnwhat they need to know to its full extent.

If your child needs to be absent for anyreason, please send a signed absent note.If the child has seen any sort of doctor,

please send that notice to school as well.

Lateness is severely frowned

upon. We understand thatthings happen, but when

your child arrives to school

late on a daily basis itbecomes a distraction

and a waste of valuable time.

Please teach your child about theirresponsibilities. We appreciate it!
