7. Reading and Math Classes
We determine classes so they are the best instructional fit for each student. We use data and performance indicators that inform us of a student’s current learning needs.
Your child’s instructional teacher will communicate, to their students, the specific requirements of their class.

10. Planner & Turtle Lake Folder
Students are responsible for bringing their planner & TL Folder to EVERY subject area where they will record & file daily information as required by the teacher.
We encourage you to read the planner & review their TL Folder daily with your child. Do not remove anything from the right hand side.
These items are an essential form of communication between home and school!

11. Homework
We expect kids to rely on their planner as a primary tool for guiding their completion of homework and preparing for their classes.
If you have questions about your child’s homework, please contact the subject area teacher for details.

12. Common reasons students receive a late slip:
Late Assignments
5th graders are expected to manage their materials, assignments, and overall workload.
Late assignments will receive a LATE SLIP, which is a form of communication and documentation between teacher, child, and/or parent. Late slips are not factored into a grade, however students will be responsible to make up the work to receive credit.
Common reasons students receive a late slip:
-Incomplete assignments
-Lost assignments
-Assignments “accidentally” left at home, yet complete
-Assignments removed from child’s folder by a caretaker

13. We are looking forward to a great year! *
