weekly math worksheet Monday-Thursday and an
occasional worksheet that reinforces the concepts
taught that day. .
Agendas:• Homework assignments are always posted in the same spot in the classroom every day.
• Each student is responsible for copying down the homework assignments into their agendas. We check agendas each day.
• Please read and sign your child’s agenda every night.
• When a student fails to get the agenda signed, 3 points will be deducted from his/her behavior grade for the week.
Homework! Yuck!• We try to limit it!
• Occasionally, a homework assignment will count for a grade. It will be noted on the board that the assignment will be for a grade. If one of these assignments is not completed or not turned in, it counts as a zero in the gradebook.
• Please remind your child that studying for tests is also homework.
• NO HOMEWORK ON FRIDAYS!!!

BEE-havior:• 4th grade uses a point system. Each student begins each week with 100 points. • Points are deducted for failure to follow the school or classroom rules. • After 4 detentions, the student will be written up and sent to the office. • Only those with a 95 average or better will be considered for Principal’s Award and Fun Day at the end of each 9 weeks.
Detention:• Students will attend detention sessions (held during recess) based on the following brackets:
• 89 or below = 1st detention visit• 79 or below = 2nd detention visit• 74 or below = 3rd detention visit• 69 or below = 4th detention visit and/or office referral• Students are given a writing assignment as part of their detention punishment.
• Please note that there are some behaviors that will result in an automatic write up and office visit, regardless of what the conduct grade is at the time.
School Supplies• Please make certain that your child has loose leaf
notebook paper and a wooden #2 pencil every day.
• Please make sure your child has his/her supplies that may be needed at any given time.
• Also, make sure that your child does not bring toys or trading cards to school, as this tends to cause many problems. If a child brings such items to school continually the items will be taken up from the child and the parent will have to come pick them up.
Signed Papers (Revised)
• Signed Papers will go home every other Wednesday. Please go over them with your child, sign them, and send all papers back to school.
