9 Homework Please check your child’s Planner and Take Home Folder each night. It is important for homework to be completed, as it is an extension and/or review of the skills worked on in class. If your child missed an assignment, a note will be sent home. Incomplete classwork is sometimes assigned for homework or during the lunch hour.

10 Homework continued Friday Folder: Every Friday, I send home the Friday Folder, containing reviewed classwork, tests, quizzes, and other work returned by any of your child’s teachers. Please sign the folder, and your child must return the signed folder on Monday.

11 Administrative Notes Absences: I will send home work each night and it is your child’s responsibility to make up the work in a timely fashion. Please remember to call Mrs. Bauerle in the morning when your child is absent. If your child plays an instrument or misses class, he/she must make up any missed work for homework. If there is any change (no bus, no after school program, going home with a friend, etc.) Please notify me immediately.

12 Administrative Notes Snacks: Our classroom is nut and peanut free. Each day our snacks will be checked to ensure the health and safety for all. Birthdays: You may send in a treat for your child’s special day which must be approved by Mrs. Bauerele. Children with summer birthdays can celebrate in June.
