Binders
~ Due to the nature of the program, binder organization is
crucial.
We have suggested to your child organizing his/her binder
using the following sections:
•Forms – parent letter, binder guidelines
•Class work & Homework – Do Now problems, notes,
examples, HW questions or other assigned worksheets
•Vocabulary – Academic & Unit sheets
•Tests/Quizzes – keep all quizzes and tests until binder
clean out (then transfer to a folder at home)
Remember…
Keep open lines of communication.
We need to know if there are academic
concerns at home.
Please use our websites & any additional
resources you find.
Please share any of the wonderful & helpful
things you find with us so we may pass them
along.
