When do test folders come home?

Test folders come home every Friday. If I plan not to send home 
test 
folders, I will make a note of it in the overview. Return the 
test folder 
signed. Include signed D and F papers.

What is the class overview?

The class overview is a weekly newsletter that includes 
information on 
activites and announcements for the week. It should be signed by 
parents on 
Monday and returned on Tuesday. Students are allowed to have the 
overview 
back once I have seen that it is signed. Keep the overview for 
the week 
since it may contain writing topics, vocabulary, and other 
important 
announcements.
