The reading log should be signed on a daily basis by a parent/guardian. 2. Homework can be done with adult supervision, but the student should complete the assignment. 3. All homework should be returned by the assigned date. 4. Students’ who are absent should see the teacher for each subject immediately. 5. Make up work (class work and homework) should be completed in a timely fashion. For every day absent, he/she will have a day to make up that work.

5. Reading Requirements Children who are solid readers: * perform better in school * have a healthy self-image * become lifelong learners All of the these outcomes lead to our children’s viability in a competitive world.
