Parents need to read and sign their student’s agenda each night.
Please have your child to school on time. Return Friday folders each Monday. Please review graded work with your child
which goes home on Tuesdays. Please make sure your child is completing
his/her homework each night.
Parent Expectations
Third grade students should bring home their agendas every day. Please review and sign your child’s agenda daily.
All transportation and excuse notes must be written on a separate sheet of paper, not in the agenda. We send these notes to the office each day.
Agendas
As long as students are healthy, they need to be at school.
There is now a 5 day window to get excuses to the office.
After 5 or more unexcused absences, the school counselor will send home an attendance letter.
When you can, provide a doctor’s excuse. If your child has 4 or more unexcused
tardies per quarter, they will need to serve detention.
Attendance Policy
Students will be graded on their report cards in the following subject areas: reading, writing/language arts/spelling, math, social studies, and science.
