Mrs. Ginn's Classroom Procedures
*****Parent/ Teacher Conferences: Please feel free to contact me at school
to schedule a conference if you have concerns about your child. I am
available every school morning from 7:50-8:30 except Thursday when I'm on
duty. I do not schedule conferences after school, because I too have a
family to go home to each afternoon.
Green Folder: Students should take their green folder home every day,
including Friday, and bring it back to school every day. Study guides, daily
work, and notes to parents will be included in the folder. Study guides
should be left in the clear pockets until we change them out at school.
Homework: I assign homework daily except for Friday. Conduct marks will be
given for each incomplete homework assignment.
Assignment Pads: Homework assignments will be written daily in your AP
except for Friday. There may be days when we have a few minutes to work on
homework in class, but the assignments should still be recorded on your pad.
Conduct will be recorded daily on your child's current conduct sheet.
Parents should sign their child's conduct sheet every Friday. I will check
for signatures on Monday.
Absences: If your child is absent, please call the school so that you may
pick up missed work. I will provide an outline of assignments. He or she
will have one day for each missed day to make up work or scheduled tests.
Study Guides: I provide a new study guide each Monday that includes reading
vocabulary words, spelling words, and a list of tests for the week. I will
also give your child a study guide for Social Studies or Science. Our test
will come from that study guide, so if your child studies the SG, he or she
will pass the test.
Graded Test Papers: I will send home graded test papers each Wednesday.
Please sign and date the sheet in the front of the folder and return the
folder and test papers on Wednesday.
Journals: Students will write in their journals at least three times a
week. Each journal entry is worth 5 points. Each entry must include the date
(1 point), title (1 point), the main idea sentence must be indented (1
point), 5 complete sentences (2 points). I will grade journals each Friday
for an English grade. If a child is absent, he or she must make up the
journal entry by Friday.
E-Mail: My e-mail address is sherrye.ginn@lpsb.org. If you email me, I will
answer as soon as possible. Please do not email me concerning grades,
changes in transportation of your child, or any other issues that may
require a timely reply.
Accelerated Reading: You have received our requirements for AR. Each student
must earn 10 points each nine weeks as a part of the student's reading
grade. AR reports will be sent home with test papers so that you will know
how many points your child has earned.
Multiplication Facts: Each student must master multiplication facts. We will
begin drilling facts very soon. Please make or purchase flash cards for your
child and begin drilling at home.
