Please check agenda books daily!

Your child has reading homework this week. Vocabulary word definitions are due by Thursday. Reading story ?s and passage graphic organizers are due by Friday. Homework is listed in the agenda books! 

Please continue to talk with your child about their school work, homework, conduct, notes from the school/teachers, etc. I will continue to sign conduct folders for NO homework and failure to return signed papers. I will also begin signing conduct folders this week for behavior. I have shown grace for the first 2 weeks while every student got back into the groove of school, but now I will be coding the conduct sheets for behavior issues.

Let me know if you need me in any way!
