Happy Holidays!

I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season! 

   We have covered alot of material,  but we still have alot more to cover when we get back from break.  It is very important that students come to school everyday and that they stay in school for the entire day. 

There are a few housekeeping things that I need to address with students and parents.  First, we will have a holiday party on Friday, December 19, 2008.   If you wish to send anything in for the party, please remember that the school has a wellness program that needs to be followed for food. 

Next, incomplete homework is a continuing problem.  With that said, I have instructed the students that effective immediately, they are to complete the homework packet and turn it in on Friday morning.  They may complete it early and turn it in, however, it must be turned in its entirety.  Students who complete their entire packets by Friday of each week, including reading and parent signature will be allowed to go to the treasure box.  I appreciate all the help you can give in having your child complete his/her homework.  Homework is an extension of what we do in the classroom!

Last, there are students who are not completing their school work during the day.  I have spoken to the students about this, and I have implemented the following:  students who do not complete their classwork will not be allowed to go to resource classes (Library, Art, Music, PE).  The students have been told that they are to place all unfinished work on a clipboard that is at their desks.  They can work on it whenever they are finished with their other work.   There is ample opportunity throughout the day for then to finish their work. 

When we come back from break, you will find homework listed on this site.  Spelling words will also be posted.  If you have any questions or concerns in regards to your child or homework, please feel free to contact me.  Most of you have my phone number or you may call the school at 757-934-9211.  I am usually there from 7:30 until 5:00.

Thank you for all that you do with your child and to help with his/her education.
