Resources and Supplies
• We sent out a supply list during open
house of what your student will need
throughout the year.
• Although we have some supplies within
our classroom, please try to replenish
your child’s supplies over the course of
the year. (pencils, paper, etc)
• Some students still do not have the
needed materials. Please consider getting
these supplies ASAP.
Field Trip
• We have not finalized our
field trip for the year.
• Due to the economy and gas
prices, field trips require a
fee, and we will give you
ample notice for
preparation.
Helping Your Student Succeed

Be a good role model. If you sometimes bring work home with you or you're
taking a course yourself, your child will learn your habits. Make 'em good!
Help your child organize things. For example, the protractor and compass
belong in the math binder, sheet music in the violin case.
Help him or her organize a quiet space to complete their assignments.
Help your child organize time. Establish a routine for completing schoolwork.
It doesn't have to be the minute your child walks in the door; just agree on a
set time and stick to it.
Minimize distractions. Thirteen-year-old wisdom notwithstanding, geometric
proofs are not better retained when learned concurrently with loud music,
"South Park" and a telephone receiver at one ear.
Check your child's work, every night. Discuss the importance of education
with your child!
Insist that sloppy or careless work be redone, but don't correct errors;
teachers need to know what students don't know

Homework
• When you sign your child’s agenda, please
make sure that your child has COMPLETED
their homework.
• Your signature implies that you are in
agreement that your child’s work has
successfully been completed.
• Please watch for due dates and know that
assignments are due the NEXT day unless
there is a due date specified in the agenda.
• It is your child’s responsibility to write down
their homework in the agenda in EACH
CLASS!
Transportation
• If your child is going home a different
way than usual, please write a note in the
agenda. Agendas aren’t as easily
misplaced as notes and are intact all
year for documentation.
• Make sure that if a child is being picked
up by someone other than yourself, that
their name is on the pick up list located in
the office. Be prepared to show I.D.
Dress Code
• Make sure that on the weeks your
child has PE, that they wear (or
bring) appropriate footwear for the
gym.
• NO flip flops are to be worn at ANY
time on school premises!
• Shorts/skirts need to be fingertip
length or longer.
• Please monitor your child’s personal
hygiene daily.
• The dress code can be found in your
child’s agenda.
School Safety
• We have been instructed to check student
book bags/lunch boxes for safety issues.
• Please help minimize the chances of your
child being in possession of any weapons
(including guns, knives, bullets, plastic/toy
guns, etc.)
• If your student is caught with any of the
above, the system-wide procedure is a 10 day
suspension plus more in-depth consequences.
• If you have any questions, see Mr. Aikens.
