I can also be reached via e-mail. In an effort to control spam, staff e-mail addresses are not published on our websites, but it is listed in the the school directory you should have received, and is available on request if you don't already have it.
Grading Scale
Homework
Homework will be given on Monday and will be due on Friday. The homework will build every week so they will slowly get more work. Students should have one hour to one and a half hours of homework each night at the most. Students are also encouraged to read 20 minutes a night.
Late homework will miss 2 points per day that it is late. Homework that is incomplete will be completed during recess on Friday and will have points deducted depending on the amount that is left unfinished.
Missing Assignments
If a student misses school, they will have one day for every day absent, starting the day after their return, to make up the work. A student will lose 10 points per day for every day an assignment is late.
Planners
Daily planners are expected to be filled out every day by students with the assignments of the day. Please make sure you check your child's planner and sign your initials so I know you've seen your child's behavior and read any notes your child may have placed in the planner.
Report Cards
A report card is not a judgment of your child's worth as an individual. It does not measure the delight he or she gives, the humor in those young eyes, or the hope for tomorrow. It measures only one aspect of a young life with so much untried potential. After only a few years of life we cannot judge their lives to be successes nor failures at anything. Please look at your child's report card with love and acceptance of how things are right now. Give it only the importance of the moment - notice and point out the good and positive, emphasize what your child is doing right and build on that to improve what needs improving. Young developing egos are fragile - handle with care and nourish all that your child is and can be.
