FIELD DAY is FRIDAY, MAY 22nd.  This is an EARLY-OUT DAY!!

Please remember to have your student bring a plastic bat to school.  You can get them at the Dollar Store.  Also, your child needs to make sure that they have his/her costume and artifacts for the Hero Museum on Thursday.

  On the last day of school I will be handing out some things for your student like a summer math packet, so I hope that all will be there.  It is an early out day.

LATE WORK POLICY-Students will have one week past the due date to turn in their late assignments without penalty.  After the one week, I will no longer accept the late assignment and a grade of zero will be put in the gradebook.  Please encourage your child to turn in their assignments on time. 

DONATIONS NEEDED:  With all of the cut backs going on in education we are in need of some extra help for supplies.  Kleenex, cleaning wipes, paper towels,construction paper, pencils, glue sticks, glue bottles, sharpies, markers, white paper.

 I will not be posting all homework assignments on the website, because some are last minute assignments and they will be written down on your students learning plan.  However, long term projects, tests, long term homework assignments will be posted in advance.  I am hoping to be able to dedicate an entire page to each of my classes, math, Language Arts, and Homeroom.  I am just learning how to truly navigate throught this UEN site.  It is not very user friendly, but I am working on it.
