Do all tests need to be signed?
It is the school policy that all tests 70 or lower must be signed
and
returned. If a student does
not return 3 tests within a marking period a Thurs. detention
will be issued.
Do the folders come home every week?
Yes, the folders with their work from the week should come home
on Friday
Yes, I have them count their papers on Friday and bring the
folder home.It
must be returned on Monday, signed on the back indicating to me
that you have
seen it. This is essential to maintaining lines of communication
beteeen
home and school.
Can I write in pen?
Yes, but please only in blue or black ink. Gel pens are for
artwork only!
Math must only be done in pencil-no exceptions.
Can I bring a snack on 1/2 days?
Yes, but the emphasis here is SNACK, not a four course meal. The
snacks
should be healthy- no chips or popcorn or junk food.
When is gym?
Thurs. 9:40 and on Friday 1:20 .Remember you may wear gym
clothes under your
uniform or change for gym. (changing is the
better option and you are allowed to bring a deodorant or small
powder to
freshen yourself) Under the new trimester report cards being
unprepared for
gym repeatedly will lower your grade, it is no longer just
pass/fail.
When are my other specials?
Music is on Mon. at 2:00 Art is on Tues. at 1:20 Computer
Group 1- Mon. 1:20 Wed. 12:40 Group 2- Tues. 12:40 Thurs. 9:00
When can I speak with the teacher if there is a problem?
You can call the office and leave a message with Mrs. Speronza, I
will do my
best to get back to you either via a call or a written note. Or
you can send
me a note and I will try to schedule a day and time we can meet
face to face.
Can we celebrate birthdays?
Of course, but please keep in mind our nutrition and wellness
policy when
sending in a treat for a birthday. The birthday person will be
allowed to
distribute their snack at lunchtime only. However, no huge
birthday blow out
celebrations or parties will be permitted.
