week. Please make sure you complete your homework each
day and have your parents to sign the sheet in the space
provided.
 I will check homework folders each morning.
 Graded papers will usually be sent home on Monday of each
week.
 Students who fail to do their homework or neglect to get their
homework sheet signed will move their clothespins. Unfinished
homework will be completed at recess.

at school is crucial to your success.
