Classroom Policies
Absences
All missed classwork will be placed on the student’s desk. It will be the student’s responsibility to meet with me to go over material and questions on the work. Classwork missed is to be completed as homework and turned in by the date specified. If you plan to pick up your student’s work at the end of the day, please notify the office by 9 a.m. to give me time to get the assignments put together before the end of the day.
Birthdays
The administration has asked that students not bring in any food-type treats. Please do not feel “obligated” to have your student bring in anything for their birthday. Your child’s birthday will still be acknowledged. To avoid any hurt feelings, please mail birthday invitations to classmates’ homes. Each child’s birthday will be celebrated in class by the teacher! Students with summer birthdays will be celebrated on half-birthdays!
