Organization will be a big part of 5th grade! We will be working hard to help students prepare for middle school by ensuring students maintain an organized binder.
Take Home Folder (orange plastic folder): This folder is used to bring home notices, practice papers and graded work. Please review papers with your child and return the folder to school. Students may also use this folder for daily homework. This folder is hole punched and is part of their binder.

5. Homework Policy
Homework is recorded daily by the students in their assignment books. If there is no homework for a subject, students should write “none”. If your child still needs an assignment book, it is not too late to order one online!
