Assignment Notebooks and Folders


        Students are expected to record all of their assignments in their assignment notebook or planner.  They will have a special time allotted to fill these notebooks out, and I will check them everyday at the end of the school day.  Your child will also have a designated folder that will be a Home/School folder.  This will come back and forth daily.    
        The assignment notebook will be placed in this folder, so it will be easy to find!  This folder is where your child will transport graded papers, notes, and assignments to and from school.  It will be your child's responsibility to get the work to and from school.  Please check these assignment folders for notes from me.   There will also be a space in their notebooks where you can jot down a quick note to me as well. 
Everyday, I will jot down some shorthand notes and initial your child’s assignment book.  It is as follows:  If your child’s assignment for the day is circled, it was not completed and he or she will have that for homework.  If it is circled with an INC. above it, it was handed in, but was incomplete or needs to be redone. It should be then coming home and in the assignment folder.  There will also always be a number, and times a letter too.  In the box, the following means: 

P-playing around
T-talking
D-Disrespect
H-hallway problems
NF-not following directions

1-Thank you for doing such a great job today!
2-I am proud of you for turning in all your work!
3-Your behavior was excellent—make sure you turn in all your work tomorrow!
4-Let’s have a better day tomorrow!
5-Please see comment.

I will then initial it everyday, and I just ask that you do the same—so I know that you have seen it!  This will be a simple way of communicating every day. 

 I am looking forward to working together to insure a great year for your child!
