11. Make sure you’re on HAC to keep up with your child’s grades
Make sure you’re on HAC to keep up with your child’s grades. Any 0’s or 50’s on HW is not good…that means your child is not doing their hw. Please encourage them in this important habit. HW should be written in agenda every night.
If your child doesn’t understand a concept, please bring them into a help session. Your child has a permanent help session pass for the year, and the help session schedule is also on the syllabus.
Make sure your child has supplies. (lots of pencils, different colored pens, paper)
Make sure that you are receiving Classroom Messenger s every Fri
Help your child stay organized. (Do not throw away anything in Math. At the end of each unit, we’ll empty our math sections and keep the materials at home before starting the new unit)
