Parent Homework
• Thank you for taking the time to tell me about your child.
• If you did not tell me about your child “in a million words or less”, you can grab a letter on the way out.
Binders• Your child’s binder helps organize all
handouts, tests, quizzes, etc. by being assigned designated sections/pages.
• Regardless of the grade earned, everything gets signed. You should be signing grades about every 2 weeks.
• Your child’s binder gets graded at the end of every quarter and counts as a quiz grade.
• I try my best to update the information in the parent portal on a weekly basis.
Thanks for coming!
