Letter to Parents 2/2 - 2/6
Dear Parents,
Last week in second grade I returned homework that has been done carelessly,
incompletely, or incorrrectly. Grades have been recorded. Please review corrected
work in folders and please see that students do not continue to make same kind of
errors. When a student is not able to do his/her homework or is absent, the child
can be given one day to make it up or the grade is recorded as zero and this
influences their gradebook average. The same applies to students of 3rd and 4th.
This week we have 11:30 dismissal on Wed. and 4:00 dismissal on Fri.
Picture money envelope is due to Mrs. Resto in tuition office by Friday. Ms. Saville
