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.
