FERPA: If you think you will volunteer (in any capacity) at Tritt this year please sign the FERPA brochure on your child’s desk and leave it with me today.
Tritt would not be the wonderful place it is without our parent volunteers! Thank you for all that you do!

Communication will come in a weekly on Wednesday afternoon/evening – be sure your registration is correct!
Homework: No more than grade level (x10) minutes (plus reading) a night
Unexcused absences: Missed work will be required to make-up, but not count towards grades; no tests can be made up (there are six weeks of vacation throughout the school year, so please plan accordingly!)
